When Japanese sake is heated, the bitter aftertaste and other flavours that are typical of Japanese sake are softened and appear as a special flavour. It is felt as if the UMAMI flavour is enhanced and the sake is perceived as particularly tasty. The aroma and sweetness of roasted miso, the flavour of melon from sake and the umami of meat are all in harmony.vinegar pickled pear compote enhances the UMAMI flavour.
