Nagatoro Sainokizuna Jumai Sikomi No.17 長瀞無濾過純米17號

Sai-no-kizuna(彩のきずな) is an edible rice variety registered in 2014 by the Agriculture and Forestry Research Center of Saitama Prefecture.

It was born from a single plant that survived the heat wave of 2007, making it a heat-tolerant.

The rice has a high amylopectin content instead of a low amylose content, which makes it suitable for fermentation.

埼玉自家產彩のきずな於2014年成為酒造好適米，是耐熱度高的米種。由支鏈澱粉組成，故易於發酵。

Natural water from the Kazabu area of Nagatoro-cho(長瀞町風布) is fetched by the brewery staff each time and used as brewing water. The water is medium-soft with just the right amount of minerals and is ideal for sake brewing, although it ferments slowly.

以本地長瀞町風布天然水釀製，是中軟水，礦物比例恰到好處，合適慢性發酵，提升酒體華麗香氣。

We chose K-901 yeast for this sake. This yeast was isolated from the Kumamoto "Kouro"(香露) brewery in 1953, and was the most commonly used yeast for brewing sake entered in sake competitions until the mid-1990s. Until the mid-1990s, it was the most commonly used yeast for ginjo sake. It tends to produce a rough sake suitable for ginjo brewing in warm regions. It is said that it is less acidic and produces more ethyl caproate than isoamyl acetate in its ginjo aroma.

The name "No. 17" comes from the fact that it was the 17th brew when the product was first developed.

以K901作酵母，是熊本於1953年研發，並廣泛應用，至90年代是多個獲獎清酒所選用品牌，專門生產出呤釀風格的清酒。是低酸而帶華麗花果香氣聞名的呤釀風專屬酵母。

No.17 是指酒造第17個匠研作品，因此而命名。

As for the taste, it keeps the umami and sweetness derived from "Sai no kizuna" and has a gorgeous aroma like apples and bananas, giving it a fresh taste.

這是一款甜香和旨味分明的清酒，帶蘋果和香蕉香氣，帶來清新感感覺。
