Long time no see, Katsuragawa! This time it is a special label of Corona Disaster. The sweet and tasty quality of the glutinous rice & 4-stage brewing process is perfect for hot sake in cold weatherâš.
First, cold.
The aroma and mouthfeel are clean and refreshing, as is typical of Gunma sake in honjozo. However, there is a softness and relaxed sweetness derived from glutinous rice in this refreshing taste. After a while, there is a hint of minerality. It disappears smoothly at the end. Personally, I think it is the opposite of "Akagisan," another Gunma honjozo sakeð.
Next, hot sake. This is where Katsuragawa really shines!
Standing aroma like freshly pounded rice cake. The mouthfeel is smooth, and the plump sweetness and umami spread out. The sweetness is less pronounced than when served cold, and the umami is slightly stronger.
It is like biting into hot rice or rice cake, and the lingering aroma and aftertaste are just like when you open a pot of freshly cooked rice! ð
Hot Kayukawa is consistently delicious, but I'm looking forward to the on the rocks sake that will be available in the summer again this year ð.
