KATSURAGAWA, which had been laid up for about a year and a half.
It's too early to tell, but I'm looking forward to a summer sake on the rocks, and this time I'll have a glass of the standard warmed sake 🍶.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was freshly cooked and fluffy, like rice cakes or rice. It is a four-step glutinous rice brewing process.
The mouthfeel is smooth like Gunma sake, but gradually a gentle and deep sweetness like sugar or spuds spreads gradually.
When heated, it has a full-bodied, rice-like flavor. The sweetness is not too strong, but rather relaxing. Perfect for enjoying in the colder months.
The sweetness itself is more subdued than the normal type, but on the other hand, you can fully enjoy the cleanliness that is typical of Gunma sake, which is a good balance!

As the summer is drawing to a close (the heat is still on), I opened a bottle of "Katsuragawa" sake on the rocks, which I was looking forward to drinking again this year!
And the back of the bottle is falling apart due to condensation again😇.
When we opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was sweet and fluffy, typical of "Katsuragawa". It is a bit sour and comes in through the nose as if it is cold on the rocks.
The mouthfeel has a pettiness by default, but on the rocks it is smooth and silky.
It has a fluffy aroma like sweet rice crackers and a syrupy sweetness of shaved ice. As the ice melts, it becomes lighter and more enjoyable ✨.
The lingering finish has a slightly tangy, spicy acidity and a tropical fruitiness, and the smart finish keeps the saké going!
While listening to the chirping of autumn insects 🍶.
I think it's time to open a bottle of "Akagisan" summer sake!

This is the second time this spring I purchased arabashiri nama-zake ICHIMATSU. The last time, the condition of the second day was not so good due to a malfunction of the stopper, so I purchased it again.
Like last time, it had a refreshing sweetness, slight acidity, and a pleasant gaseous taste.
It was still a delicious sake.
The second day was also very good.
