About

“Sake meter value +6.” This year we have once again produced a fresh, dry namazake. Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery does not normally publish sake meter values. Numerical classifications and labels offer some degree of differentiation, but they are meant only as a reference. We would rather people enjoy the sake through their own senses, without being swayed by words such as sweet or dry. The perception of sweetness and dryness also varies by region, depending on local food culture. However, we labeled this sake karakuchi because many customers asked for a dry sake. Please enjoy the dry sake as we understand it, shaped by the climate of Hokkaido. When chilled thoroughly, its clear, dry character becomes even more pronounced. Even in this muggy season, we think you will find yourself drinking it down with gusto. Please enjoy it with Hokkaido's seasonal foods. Note: Sake meter value (nihonshudo) indicates the specific gravity of sake. Compared with ordinary water, the more extract such as sugar a liquid contains, the heavier it becomes. A positive value means less sugar and a drier sake; a negative value means more sugar and a sweeter sake. Note: Nomasaru is a Hokkaido dialect expression meaning to end up drinking more than intended.
