【Fermentation process of Wine and Sake】
1: What’s Sake ? 【Fermentation process of Wine and Sake】 Wine Yeast 1:Ingredients Fermentation 3 Grapes （Sugar=Glucose） Single Fermentation 2 Koji Mold Water 1:Ingredients Saccharification Starch→sugar SAKE Sake is often described as “rice wine”, but sake and wine are quite different. While the quality of wine is largely determined by the quality of grapes, quality of sake is more determined by how it made. The quality of wine changes every year. On the other hand. Sake is considered to be almost same taste every year. It can be said that if wine , agricultural product, sake is hand craft product. The brewing process of wine is this. Let’s see 3 differences. 1: ingredients●. Wine is made from grape, but Sake is made from rice, rice koji, same sake is added brewer’s alcohol. 2: water.●Although wine is made from 100% grape , 80% of sake is water, so quality of water is very important. 3: wine is single fermentation●, but Sake is multiple parallel fermentation. The starch of rice grain is converted into sugar, at the same time, sugar fermented to alcohol. As you see, the brewing process of sake is more complex than that of wine.

And so on Yamada nishiki 1:RICE More than 100 sake rice Polishing rate Adding brewer’s alcohol or not Gohyaku mangoku 2:WATER 80% of sake Soft water ～ Hard water Depends on terrain There are many elements which affect the taste of sake. But there is a saying , Most important 3 elements for brewing sake are rice, water, and brewers.. (Sake rice is different from eating rice and ) there are more than 100 kind of sake rice in Japan. 2 famous sake rice are ●Yamada nishiki which is tend to produce deep sweet aroma, and Gohayku mangoku which is tend to produce clean and smooth taste. But it is also determined how it made. 2nd element is water. So the water go through the layer faster. Generally, Soft water makes soft sake, hard water makes powerful sake. (but it is also determined how it made) 3rd element is brewers. Taste of sake is affected by brewing method. So brew master and brewers should be skilled person. 3:BREWERS a Toji(brew master) & Brewers Highly skilled 5 MANOTSURU 5

【Sake Classification】
1: What’s Sake ? 【Sake Classification】 Sake is classified according to 2 factors, polishing rate and ingredients. If the rice is polished less than 60 (meaning that 40% or more of the grain is removed), the sake is referred to as ginjō or junmai ginjō. When the rice polishing rate is less than 50% (meaning that 50% or more of the grain is removed), the sake is called daiginjō or junmai daiginjō. When rice polishing rate is lower, the grade is higher. Its grade are higher when the rice polishing ratio is lower. The term junmai means pure rice, sake made with rice, water, and kōji . On the other hand, if brewer’s alcohol is added, the sake is no longer called junmai-. In that case, it is called honjozo, ginjō or daiginjō. Dai means great or grand. 6 MANOTSURU 6

Why the name is crane ? It’s because the name of MANOTSURU means Cranes of Mano town where OBATA brewery is placed. White crane is the best choice for the introduction, as it is the most standard sake of MANOTSURU. By tasting this sake at the very beginning, you can understand the feature of MANOTSURU, “Clean & clear Umami”. 2nd one should be Red crane. Junmai. White crane and Red crane is like sisters. I want you compare to those 2 sake. Same sake rice, same polishing rate, same yeast, same alcohol content, but the different brewing process. Their attack and after taste is totally different. White crane is more sharp, and bit dry, having a flavor of citrus, nuts, mushroom, green leaf. Suitable with fresh and simple meals, such as Sashimi　and Tofu. Compared with White crane, Red crane is milder and have soft umami. It goes well with Tempura, Sukiyaki , fried tofu and so on. By the way, Sake can be served room temperature, cold , and some sake are good to be warmed. ●Actually these sisters won the awards at the Japan Kanzake ( hot & warm sake) contest White crane got the grand gold at the category of Hot sake, and Red crane got the gold medal at the category of warmed sake.

It means this sake dry enough to be able to kill demon. How dry it is ? You may feel less sweetness , less aroma compared with previous 2 sake. It is Karakuchi, Super dry sake.●SMV is +15. Dryness can be described by Sake meter value, or Nihonshu-do.● It is determined by the amount of sugar contained in the sake. If the sugar is high,it will have a negative value, while if the sugar is low, it will have a positive value. Generally speaking, if the SMV is 5 or higher, it is considered to be dry. A value between 0 and 5 is “medium dry,” while a negative value indicates “sweet.” However, the SMV is not perfect measure to discrive the dryness because it is related by other elements as well. But + 15 is incredibly super dry. Demon Slayer has a flavor of dried fruit, herb, a bit cinnamon, it goes well with sashimi, Shioyaki fish (baked fish with salt) or Shiokara. I recommend to serve this sake room temperature, slightly cold or slightly warmed. Semi Sweet Sweet Light & sour 18 18

Bulza is 55%. By Slow fermentation at lower temperatures ,ginjo sake is more aromatic and lighter in taste than other types of sake. Bulzai aroma is a yellow apple, fresh green. The taste is refreshing. and aftertaste is smooth. Good to be serve chilled. It goes well with fish dishes such as sashimi, white fish carpaccio, seafood salad. It also good at the restaurants, because　VDS has this sake in wine size bottles as well as small bottles. Wine size bottle will be perfect for sommelier to show it to their custmers.

The name MAHO comes from previous great brew master, Maho Matsui. The current brew master, Kenya couldn’t accomplish a feat without Mr. Maho’s artisanal teaching. ●MANOTSURU MAHO awarded the gold prize twice , at International Wine challenge , The biggest contest in the world, which was held in London. also 11 gold medals at the biggest official Sake competition in Japan since The literal meaning of MAHO is golden rice field. Like that name, The flagrance of MAHO is softly rich, elegant and very complex such as matured fruit, pineapple ,orange peals, and cotton candy. you will be surprised by its viscosity. The secret is brewing method. ●Using just core of Yamadanishiki, fermented slowly in the coldest weather, ●●no pressing, just gathering the drops like this, MAHO produces such a mysterious flavor.　 MAHO is super premium Dai ginjo and I strongly recommend to drink it by wine glass, at slightly cold or room temperature so that you can enjoy the flavor.This sake can be enjoyed by it self, or French , Italian cuisine not only Japanese food.

Nigori is cloudy Sake. Nigori is roughly filtered. Thus, Nigori Sake contains Sake lees, the rice solids that have not fermented, and that make Nigori Sake cloudy. Most Nigori Sake are tend to be too sweet or heavy flavors●, and non pasteurized. But Countless Visions has light sweetness and sourness. Also it was pasteurized. So it can be warmed if you like. It goes well with ●Potato salad with vinegar dressing, cheese, and spacy. Like Asian fusion food. Nigori has gained great popularity in recent years. I think this light nigori will be good choice to women and sake beginners, and fusion food. Semi Sweet Sweet Light & sour 21 21

【Differences of sake cups】
4: Enjoy more 【Differences of sake cups】 This topic is difference of sake cups. Wine glass is a great choice for sake tasting. On the other hand, traditional sake vessel is open-shaped that the aroma is tend to diffuse. But when you drink with traditional sake cup, your chin down. So the flavor spread slowly in your mouth, And you can feel plenty of sweetness and umami on your tongue . ●This type of glass makes sake more refreshing, and clear. With this kikichoko, widely used at sake tasting, with blue circles , we can identify the color on white area and clarity on blue area. Likewise, there are many beautiful things in traditional sake cups. 24 MANOTSURU 24

【Differences from temperature】
4: Enjoy more 【Differences from temperature】 low ←Temperature → high fresh ←Aroma→ complex Atsu-kan 熱燗 Jo-kan 上燗 less sweet ←Sweetness→ Sweeter & heavier Nuru-kan ぬる燗 less umami & fresh ←Umami→ heavier & full body Shitsu-on 室温 more acidity (dryness) ←Sourness→ mild roundness Nest topic is temperature. Sake can be enjoyed in many different temperature chilled, in room temperature, and warmed. The same sake will shows you many different faces depending on the temperature. The heating actually brings out deeper and more reflective flavor of sake that you don’t discover at cold temperature. Aroma will be more complex , sweetness & Umami will be increasing and heavier. But sourness and bitterness will be milder and Don’t heat sake higher than 55 degree　Celsius . Overheating can make it very dry and destroy the delicate balance of the flavor. ●It looks Junmai & Honjozo sake will be good for heating. So, what’s the effect of chilling sake ? When sake is chilled, aroma will be increasing. Sweetness & umami are suppressed. Bitterness and acid taste are emphasized. By chilling sake, texture become smooth and fruity and refreshing flavor are brought out which you couldn’t feel before. ●It looks Ginjo style sake will be good for chilling. But be careful. Over heating may ruin both flavor and aroma. Reishu 冷温 sharpness ←Bitterness→ less bitterness You can control the aroma & taste by changing temperature 25 MANOTSURU 25

【Expiration date and how to store sake】
5 : Point to introduce SAKE 【Expiration date and how to store sake】 Theoretically, alcohol doesn’t rot, so there is no expiration date for sake as well as wine. Instead of expiration date, ●there is bottled date on the label in Japan. In US, it is not necessary incidentally, Generally, the time period which is considered as the best condition is a year from the bottle date. In Japan, it is 3 month on the shelf . However, change of the condition is depends on how it is stored. Sake is affected by light, temperature and oxidation. So it is appreciated to store sake in refrigerator●　and once you open the bottle, please finish it in a few days. Sake is considered to be drunk fresh, but there is a vintage market although it is not very standard yet. maturing makes sake more aromatic and spicy if sake is controlled under the right conditions. 26 MANOTSURU 26
