Did a light filter on the sake today. It pulled down the flavors a bit, but the nose is still really strong. There’s a lot more citrus coming through as well as some of the coriander. It still has a bit of a acidic kick on the back end that I hope will age out.
I saved a couple of bottles with some sediment to see how it plays.
All in all this was a really cool experiment. I will definitely be trying to add elements to the steaming again in the future. I think it plays more interestingly than infusion after brewing or flavor additives.
I’m not sure what score to give this one as it is really different from anything I’ve made or tried. So maybe a 4/5 with the harsh German judges giving low scores for non-traditional attempts.
