飛鸞 HIRAN Infinity∞ 2026 γ

【飛鸞 HIRAN Infinity∞ 2026 γ】

Infinity∞ 2026 是長崎縣平戶森酒造場「飛鸞」每年的實驗系列，以「無限可能」為題，杜氏刻意挑戰尚未做過的造法。2026 年首次一次推出三款：α、β、γ，三者皆為生酛，但麴米、掛米、酵母與酸的來源完全不同

α 是飛鸞首次不添加酵母，交給藏付自然酵母；麴米山田錦、掛米朝日，14%，風格較沉靜、柔滑、帶桃香與複雜旨味

β 用協會 77 號高產蘋果酸酵母，山田錦 × にこまる，13%，おりがらみ生酒；青蘋果、甘酸、氣感最明顯

γ 以白麴 + 協會 12 號酵母，麴米雄町、掛米にこまる，14%；檸檬酸、雄町旨味與清爽收結

γ 是杜氏從未做過的組合：麴米雄町 20%、掛米にこまる 80%，白麴加上協會 12 號（浦霞酵母）。白麴帶來檸檬酸；12 號酵母本應有較明顯的果香，但杜氏指出酸度較高，香氣有時會被酸蓋過。口感上仍可見雄町的個性旨味，以及蜜柑、檸檬般柑橘酸，收結輕快

香氣相對溫和，麝香葡萄、香蕉與柑橘調性；入口水潤，檸檬般爽酸與雄町、にこまる的複雜旨味並行，尾段清爽

【HIRAN Infinity∞ 2026 γ】

Infinity∞ is Hiran’s annual experimental series from Mori Shuzojo in Hirado, Nagasaki. The name points to brewing without a fixed ceiling: each year the tōji takes on a method he has not yet tried.For 2026, three bottles were released together for the first time—α, β and γ. All three are kimoto. Beyond that, the koji rice, kakemai, yeast, and the character of the acidity are entirely different.

Type α is Hiran’s first no-added-yeast sake, fermented with brewery in-house wild yeast. Koji rice is Yamadanishiki; kakemai is Asahi, at 14% ABV. The style is quieter and silkier, with peach-like fruit and layered umami.

Type β uses Association Yeast No. 77, a high malic-acid strain, with Yamadanishiki and Nikomaru at 13% ABV. It is an origarami nama: green apple, sweet-tart acidity, and the most obvious lift of carbonation.

Type γ pairs white koji with Association Yeast No. 12. Koji rice is Omachi (20%) and kakemai is Nikomaru (80%), at 14% ABV. Citric acidity in a lemon register meets Omachi’s savoury depth, finishing clean and light.

This is a combination the Toji has not tried it before: Omachi koji, Nikomaru kakemai, white koji, and Association Yeast No. 12 (Urakasumi yeast). White koji supplies citric acid.

The nose is relatively quiet, with Muscat, banana, and citrus. The palate is juicy and water-fresh: lemon-bright acidity runs alongside the more complex umami of Omachi and Nikomaru, with mandarin- and lemon-like citrus, then a light, clean close.
