Popular Japanese Alcohol Drinks③
④Atsukan
Atsukan, recommended for the colder months, is piping hot Japanese sake, which is made from rice, koji mold, yeast, and water. Atsukan has a somewhat smooth and acidic taste.
冬になると必ず飲みたくなるのが熱燗！さらっと、そして適度な酸味が良いですよね。冷酒ともちろんつくりは同じですが、飲むと全然違いますよね。
Atsukan technically means “hot sake,” but there are actually many different temperature levels you can indulge. Aside from atsukan (50C, 120F), you can also order tobikiri (55C, 131F), joukan (45C, 113F), nurukan (40C, 104F), hitohadakan (35C, 95F), hinatakan (30C, 86F), hiyakan (15-25C, 59-77F), suzu-bie (15C, 59F), hanabie (10C, 50F), and yukibie (5C, 41F). The general term for hot sake is okan or kanzake. Whatever temperature you prefer, hot sake should definitely be on your list of drinks to try in Japan.
温度によって定義が違い、熱燗と呼ぶのは50℃。40℃付近の"ぬる燗"で出すお店が増えているように感じます。
