Standards indicating Japanese Sake Flavors
Gathering information such as the type of premium sake, rice-polishing ratio, sake rice, water hardness, etc., can help to predict the flavor of sake to a certain degree. However, other indicators can also indicate flavor more frankly. Such indicators are the sake meter value, acidity, and amino acidity.
The sake meter value refers to the specific gravity of sake to water. The more lighter than water, the more positive the value; while the more heavier than water, the more negative the value. If the sugar content of sake is high, the specific gravity increases. Therefore, if the sake meter value is negative, the sweeter the flavor; while the more positive the sake meter value, the more dry the flavor.
Acidity refers to the amount of acids contained in sake, such as malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, etc.
Acid not only adds a sour flavor to sake, but also brings out the flavor and acts as an umami flavor.
If the sake meter value is the same, high acidity tends to generate a dry flavor, while low acidity tends to generate a sweet flavor.
日本酒の味を示す基準
特定名称の種類や精米歩合、酒米や水の硬度などの情報を集めればある程度まで、味の予想をすることは可能だ。しかし、より端的に味を示す指標が他にもある。それが日本酒度、酸度、アミノ酸度である。
日本酒度は日本酒の水に対する比重のことで水より軽ければプラス、重ければマイナスとなる。
酒の中の糖が多ければ、比重が重くなることから、マイナスであればあるほど甘口、プラスであればあるほど辛く口とされている。
酸度はリンゴ酸、クエン酸、琥珀酸など、日本酒に含まれる酸の量を示表す。
酸は単に酸っぱさを与えるだけでなく、味を引き締める効果や旨味としての役割もある。
日本酒度が同じでも酸度が高いと辛く感じ、低いと甘く感じる傾向がある。
