彩來 宵之風 純米吟釀 無濾過 生原酒

【彩來 宵之風 純米吟釀 無濾過 生原酒】

以埼玉縣的暱稱「彩之國」命名的彩來，由第五代年輕度杜氏北西隆一郎先生接手後，他花了多年時間設計出香氣、甜度和酸度三者平衡的酒質，其酒質大獲好評，更一躍進入頭排行榜30位的超新星品牌彩來於東京圈大賣，現時屬入手困難的品牌

「彩來 宵之風」延續彩來系列一貫的三大重點——帶氣質的吟釀香、細緻米甜與上質酸度的多層次表現，同時刻意調整成更適合夏末、初秋飲用的版本。相較常規款，這支在酒精度與甜度上均略為收斂，仍保留無濾過生原酒的厚度與鮮度，但整體感覺更俐落清爽，適合在仍帶餘暑的夜晚慢慢小酌

入口可以感受到含蓄而雅致的吟釀香氣，帶一點熟果與白花調性，並非張揚華麗的類型。米的甘味存在感明確，卻因為整體設計較為「收斂」，不會拖出黏膩感；配合乾淨、線條分明的酸度，把中段的旨味輕巧拉長，在收結處帶出爽利的「切口」。雖為生原酒，但由於氨基酸數值控制得宜，口感偏向清爽側，是「有甘度、有厚度，但印象仍然很乾淨」的一類

飲用溫度
建議以冷酒品飲，約 6–10℃ 可突顯其清爽酸度與透明感；想多一點米旨與甘味時，可讓酒液在杯中微微回溫至 10–12℃，會感到香氣與層次更為開展

配餐建議
適合搭配油脂不算太厚、味道有層次的料理，例如鹽燒雞腿、烤魷魚、清爽風味的海鮮刺身或 carpaccio、日式前菜拼盤、和風沙律等，讓酸度與清脆收結幫助整理油脂與鹹味。同時也很適合作為「宵夜酒」，搭配枝豆、少量芝士、出汁卷玉子或輕味小食，一邊聊天一邊慢慢喝

【Sara “Yoi no Kaze” Junmai Ginjo Muroka Nama Genshu】

Named after Saitama’s nickname “Sai no Kuni” (the colourful province), Sara is a rising star crafted by fifth‑generation, young head brewer Ryuichiro Kitazawa, who has spent years refining a house style that balances aroma, sweetness and acidity. “Yoi no Kaze” (Evening Breeze) carries that signature elegance, but is fine‑tuned for the lingering warmth of late summer and early autumn. Compared with the regular line‑up, this unfiltered, unpasteurised genshu is slightly drier and lighter in alcohol, keeping the depth and freshness of nama while drinking with a sleeker, more refreshing profile – ideal for slow sipping on a warm evening.

On the palate, you first notice a gentle, refined ginjo bouquet with hints of ripe fruit and white flowers rather than loud, showy aromatics. The rice‑derived sweetness is clearly present yet deliberately restrained, avoiding any stickiness; a clean, well‑drawn acidity stretches the mid‑palate umami and then carves out a crisp, tidy finish. For an undiluted nama it feels surprisingly polished and airy, falling into that rare category of sake that is “sweet and layered, yet mentally registers as very clean”.

Serving temperature
Best enjoyed chilled at around 6–10℃ to highlight its brightness, acidity and transparency. If you prefer more rice umami and sweetness, let it warm very slightly in the glass to about 10–12℃, where the aromas and layers open up without losing precision.

Food pairing
This sake pairs well with dishes that have some flavour complexity but are not overly rich in fat, such as salt‑grilled chicken thigh, grilled squid, fresh‑tasting seafood sashimi or carpaccio, assorted Japanese appetisers and light Japanese‑style salads. It also works beautifully as a late‑night companion with simple snacks like edamame, small portions of cheese, dashi‑rolled omelette or other light bar bites – perfect for relaxed conversation over a few measured pours.
