コタロー
The aroma is not very strong, maybe a hint of rum? A little milky too. Which way will it go? I take it at room temperature, wondering which way it will turn out.
When I take a sip, I think, "Oh, this is the one I like! It's an autumn sake, but it still has a freshness to it, and you can feel the schwash. But it is gentle, calm, and refreshing. Maybe a hint of pear or rum.
When chilled, it has a great clarity through the throat. Mild rice sweetness and soft acidity with a freshness.
It has an autumnal richness, but it is not at all cloying, a good balance.
It is delicious even when heated. It is warm and mild, with a slight sourness and a soft sweetness of the rice.
The expression changes depending on the temperature range, but it is consistently a delicious sake with a gentle taste.
I have not been able to drink much of this sake due to various reasons, and new sake has started to be released, so I feel like I have been left behind by the season.
