Nanayo No Color Finishing No. 2 Rating 4.4 Rice: Yamadanishiki from Fukuoka Prefecture, 60% polished rice, Sake meter -9.4, Acidity 1.8, Amino acidity 1.4 Yeast used: Newly developed yeast (name undecided), 11% alcohol by volume All Fukuoka, using a yeast newly developed by the Fukuoka Industrial Technology Center's Biological Food Research Institute. Refreshing and fruity flavor. Low alcohol. Limited to only 400 720ml bottles because it is a test brew. Low-alcohol 11% sweet sake. Low-alcohol sake inevitably retains some sweetness during the manufacturing process, but how to prepare it is a challenge for each sake brewery. This time, the sweetness is left as it is and the acidity is raised to balance it out, creating a sweet and sour taste that is pleasant to drink. The first part of the bottle has a refreshing, melon-like to citrus-like aroma, and then it becomes smooth. The convergence of the two is acidic and refreshing.
