Sake Nation: “Seasonal Sake – Part 1: Summer Sake”
By Kosuke Kuji
Sake is representative of its brewing season, consumed seasonally when the flavor is most savory and delicious.
Since ancient times, the Japanese custom is to savor seasonal flavors during each of the four distinct and beautiful seasons.
This report introduces how to enjoy seasonal sake flavors during each season in four separate issues.
Japan endured a scorching hot summer that neared a boiling point this year. In the past, few sake products were released for consumption during the hot summer season. Until recently, the sake industry appeared to yield their summer business to beer products. However, a new genre of “seasonal summer sake” was developed within the last fifteen years. Summer sake is a refreshing draft sake enjoyed during the summer season with an alcohol content of 12 or 13 percent, lower than the usual sake.
While diluted water is usually added to pressed sake to lower the alcohol content, recent advancements in brewing technology enables “undiluted sake” to be brewed with an alcohol content of 12 percent, the defining characteristic of summer sake.
Draft sake is subtle in flavor and refreshing for the summer season. Please try this delicious summer sake if you have an opportunity to visit Japan during the hot summer season.
酒豪大陸「季節の日本酒①夏酒」
日本酒には季節を代表する、その時期にしか飲めない、その時期最高に美味しいお酒があります。
日本には美しい四季があり、古からその季節ごとにおいしさを楽しむ素晴らしい習慣がありました。それを今回から4回に分けてお伝えします。
今年の夏は、日本は本当に暑く、まさに沸騰しているような夏でした。そんな夏に飲むお酒は、実は以前はあまりありませんでした。夏はビールに譲ります、みたいな雰囲気が日本酒業界にはあったのですが、この15年で「夏酒」というジャンルが出てきました。
これは、夏の暑い日にも飲みやすく、普通の日本酒よりもアルコール度数を12％とか13％とかに少し下げた生酒です。
この夏酒の最大のポイントは、普通アルコールを下げるにはしぼってからの割り水で、水を足して薄めるのですが、現代は醸造技術が大きく進歩した結果、12％とかの「原酒」を造ることが可能になりました。
さわやかで優しい味わいの夏に飲む生酒。ぜひ暑い夏の日本に着たら、試してみてください。夏でも美味しく日本酒を飲むことが出来ますので。
