A must-see for those who love sweet sake! A list of light, sweet sake and how to choose it!

The sweetness of sake is not due to the sweetness of sugar, but to the sugars derived from the rice that is the raw material for sake . Light and sweet sake is characterized by its sweet yet refreshing taste .

[Key points for distinguishing light and sweet sake]
The most useful reference for distinguishing between sweet sake is the "sake meter value."
Sake meter is a numerical value that represents the specific gravity of sake when the specific gravity of water is set to zero (±0).
Because sugar is heavier than water, the more sugar and other extracts there are, the sweeter it will taste (-) , and the less extract there is, the sweeter it will taste (+), and the drier it will taste (+). Although it is not possible to judge by numbers alone, we recommend checking the acidity and amino acid content in addition to the sake meter value.

[Brief explanation of each item]
・Sake meter value: The more negative the value, the sweeter the sake, and the more positive the value, the drier the sake.
- Acidity: The lower the number, the lighter the taste, and the higher the number, the richer the taste.
- Amino acid content: The lower the number, the cleaner the taste, and the higher the number, the richer the flavor.

If we judge based on these numbers, light and sweet sake has a large negative (-) value for sake meter, and low acidity and amino acid content . However, the world of sake involves many different factors, such as aroma and taste, and it is true that it cannot be judged by numbers alone.

I like sweet sake, but there are so many types that I can't choose/I don't know because the numerical values aren't listed/I like sweet sake once in a while, but I can't decide <br>In those cases, please use the product list above!
