出羽桜 ML 醗酵. ML fermentation is an abbreviation for Malolactic Fermentation. Rich, Slightly Sweet, Well-balanced. It is a pure rice sake that incorporates Dewazakura's new challenge "ML (malolactic) fermentation" technology. It has an excellent balance of sweetness and sourness, and it has a good aftertaste, making it a sake that you can drink over and over again. It is characterized by its sweet and sour taste when drunk chilled, and its umami flavor that stands out when served warm. ML fermentation is "malolactic fermentation", which means that malic acid contained in sake is converted into lactic acid by the power of lactic acid bacteria. Malic acid is characterized by its "refreshing acidity", but if it is too much, it tends to stand out and lack softness. Therefore, with the help of lactic acid bacteria, malic acid is converted into lactic acid with a “mellow and gentle acidity”. The Yamagata Prefectural Industrial Technology Center has obtained a patent for this manufacturing method, and the prefecture and sake breweries are working together to commercialize it. Rice type: Haenuki (Yamagata Prefecture) sake rice. Yeast: Yamagata Yeast YK-2408 (high malic acid producing yeast). Polishing ratio (seimaibuai) (精米歩合): 55%. Sake Meter Value (nihonshudo) (日本酒度): -10. Acidity: 2.2. Serving temperature: cold ○ little cold ◎ room ◎ warm ◎ hot○ extra hot○. Bottle size: 720 ml, 1800 ml.
