How to taste? How to enjoy the taste?
Because the tastes and stages of sake vary, you can enjoy different tastes of sake by trying out the processes below.
Sparkling Sake: Just after 3-7 days, because the yeast cells generate gas, the sake will contain a good amount of gas. After this period, you can enjoy sparkling sake.
White Sake: A few days later, the gas will be disappear. After this period, you can enjoy white sake.
White sake is sweeter because it tastes more like rice.
Clear Sake (Normal Sake): Use a filter and remove white rice pieces.
The taste of sake varies . If you prefer sweeter sake, please drink as early as possible. If you prefer a drier taste, please wait for a few weeks. If you want to keep the sake at the taste you prefer after giving it a taste test, heat it around 60℃, 140°F. The reason for this is the yeast cells consume sweetness, and then they generate alcohol. The yeast cells work until they die. In order to kill them, heating at 60℃, 140°F is necessary.
