Sake Nation: “Seasonal Sake – Part 2: Autumn released draft sake ”
By Kosuke Kuji
This report introduces representative seasonal sake. In this issue, we introduce “Autumn released draft sake” enjoyed in the fall season.
Autum released draft sake is representative of the fall season, long established as a pronoun for seasonal sake within the sake industry.
Freshly pressed sake is very flavorful today due to the development of modern day sake brewing technology.
In the past however, freshly pressed sake was often bitter in flavor or too immature to exude sufficient flavor, thus low volumes released as new sake.
“Autumn released draft sake” is brewed by pressing and pasteurizing sake during the previous winter season, storing until the fall season, then freshly bottling when sufficiently matured without pasteurization during the second round of bottling. Of course, this Autumn released draft sake is still a pronoun referring to seasonal fall sake to date as a very popular seasonal sake product.
Many sake breweries start selling Autumn released draft sake during the annual Chrysanthemum Festival. Autumn released draft sake is delicious when paired with seasonal dishes such as salt-grilled mackerel pike or taro soup with meat and vegetables. Please enjoy bountiful fall seasonal foods with Autumn released draft sake.
酒豪大陸「季節の日本酒②ひやおろし」
日本酒の季節を代表するお酒を紹介していますが、今回は秋の「ひやおろし」です。
ひやおろしは季節を代表する日本酒としては、とても古い時代からあり、日本酒の世界では季節を楽しむお酒の代名詞ともなっています。
現代の日本酒は醸造技術の発展により、しぼったばかりでもすごく美味しいお酒を出せるようになりました。
しかし、昔はしぼったばかりの日本酒は苦かったり、若すぎて味のノリが悪かったりするものが多く、新酒で出すお酒のほうが少なかった時代もありました。
その中でも、前の年の冬にしぼって火入れをしたお酒を秋まで寝かせ、熟度が良くなった頃に、2回目の瓶詰の際の火入れをせずに特別に生詰めした原酒を「ひやおろし」と言って楽しんでいました。もちろん今でもこのひやおろしは秋の日本酒の代名詞で、大人気の季節商品となります。
毎年９月９日（重陽の節句）に発売を開始する蔵元が多く、秋に取れる秋刀魚の塩焼きや芋煮などとあわせて飲むと最高に美味しいです。ぜひ秋の恵みを食材とともにひやおろしで楽しんでみてください。
