Naturally Pink Nigori Sake - It's Not as Sweet as It Looks!

About Igarashi Sake Brewery

五十岚酒造

Established in 1897, Igarashi Sake Brewery is located in central Japan's Hanno-city, Saitama Prefecture. It was at first a small family owned brewery, but has grown considerably over the decades. The brewery brand 'Tenranzan' is named after a mountain, which literally means 'the emperor mountain' and is nearby the brewery. It has been called this name ever since the Meiji Emperor reached the summit, making it the first scenic spot designated by the prefecture.

五十岚酒造成立于1897年,位于日本中部的埼玉县汉野饭能市。它最初是一家小型的家族酒厂,但在过去的几十年里发展得相当快。酒造品牌“Tenranzan”以一座山命名,字面意思是“皇山”,就在酒造附近。自从明治天皇登上山顶,它就被称为这个名字,使它成为第一个由县指定的景点。

The brewery stands at the confluence of the Naguri and Naruki rivers. The air is clear and clean, and clean, gentle underground water from Okuchichibu is pumped up from a well. Hanno's wonderful nature, with its greenery and clear streams, nurtures the light and crisp Tenranzan.

酒造坐落在名栗川和成木川的交汇处。这里的空气清新、干净,奥秩父抽出的奥秩父温和而纯净。饭能奇妙的自然,绿色和清澈的溪流,培育了光明和清爽的天览山清酒。

Igarashi Tenranzan Momoiro Nigori Sake

五十岚天览山桃色浊酒

The pink bottle makes it look like a cute and sweet liqueur, but do not be deceived by it! It's a lot less sweet than the visuals suggest. When you put it in your mouth, it has just a slight sweetness, and the ultra-fine carbonation gives it a three-dimensional effect, while the aftertaste is refreshing.

其粉红色的瓶子看起来像一个可爱的和甜蜜的利口酒,但不要被它迷惑哦!它可没有视觉上看起来那么甜。入口时只有淡淡的甜味,但超细的碳酸让它富有立体感,清爽,回味无穷。

This is a rare sake that is naturally pink due to pink yeast and is produced by only two companies in the prefecture, including the brewery. The yeast is so delicate that if even a small amount of a different yeast is mixed in, the pink colour will not stand out. The tools are specially designed for pink nigori sake and care is taken to prevent other yeasts from entering the brewery. With an alcohol content of 8 degrees, it is easy to drink for women and people who don't like sake.

这是一款使用粉红色的酵母酿制罕见的清酒,所以其呈现出天然的粉红色。只有包括这家酒造在内的两家公司生产可以生产粉红色清酒。如此微妙酵母,即使是加入少量不同的酵母混合使用,粉红色的颜色不会淡出。这些都是专门为粉色浊酒设计的,并采取了措施防止其他酵母混入酒造。它的酒精含量为8度,女性和不喜欢清酒的人很容易入口哦。
