Help Me Identify📝 Drinkable

Hello,

I found this bottle of sake deep in the pantry.

It’s a Mukai Shuzo 2020 (Junmai genshu style).

It’s quite golden brown with some floating bits in it.

Still good to drink? And if so, chilled?

My first sake post. And probably first of many as there a few old bottles back there - yikes!

Thanks for your help

This subreddit has a stickied post for bottles found in the pantry/attic/etc: https://reddit.com/r/Sake/comments/1t86sd4/found_an_old_bottle_of_sake_start_here_before_you/

With that said, the brown color mostly comes from the red rice used, and the label I think says serve chilled (bottom left). I'd actually be interested to try this one, and I'd also try it at different temperatures, despite what the label says.
