The alcohol content is intentionally set lower, making it lighter and more refreshing compared to typical kijoshu. Despite its clean and crisp profile, it still retains the characteristic sweetness and acidity of kijoshu, resulting in an easy-drinking and refreshing style.
From the renowned sake brand “Nito” in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture comes the limited release “Kijoshu Namazake.” Kijoshu refers to a special brewing method in which part of the brewing water is replaced with sake itself. As a result, sugars that would normally be broken down and converted into alcohol by yeast are retained in higher amounts, producing a rich, viscous sake with pronounced sweetness—a style that has gained popularity in recent years.
Nito aims to craft an elegant and refined sweetness, and both the sake used to replace the brewing water and the rice varieties change each year, bringing a sense of freshness and surprise to every release. The overall profile showcases a luxurious interplay between sweetness and acidity.
