During the New Year's holiday in Kumamoto, almost every family has the custom of drinking red sake with slaughterhouse sake.
It has a caramel-like richness and sweetness, and combined with the spicy taste of slaughterhouse sake, it's really delicious!
Tohitoi Akazake", a traditional sake in Kumamoto, is made by the traditional Japanese method of "Akumochi Zake".
Aka-shu was loved as "Gokoku-shu" by the Higo Hosokawa clan in the Edo period.
The use of wood ashes gives it a unique aroma and makes it slightly alkaline or nearly so. It is said that this is the reason why it is called "Aka-shu", as the sugar and amino acids react over time and it naturally takes on a red color.
This is an ancient Japanese sake brewed by adding wood ashes to the brewed "mash" to improve the preservation of the sake.
This is one of the traditional ways of brewing sake in Japan, and it is called "hai mochi" because the ashes are used to prevent acidification and preserve the sake.
Ashes are used to neutralize the acidity of the sake, which results in the originally acidic sake becoming neutral or slightly alkaline, making it one of the most unique production methods in the world.
