Arguably the most distinctive creation in the Aramasa lineup, Amaneko is brewed using not only standard sake kōji but also shōchū kōji (white kōji), which imparts a bold, citrusy acidity that sets it apart from conventional sake.
As a quintessential expression of Aramasa’s experimental spirit, it has now been a mainstay for 15 years, continuing to stand out with its unique character. Like the Colors series and Hinotori, it is brewed in kioke(wooden tanks), which in recent years has only further intensified its individuality.
Amaneko opens with an uplifting aroma of fresh pomelo and kabosu, crisp green apple, and juicy nashi pear, layered with a herbal-floral notes reminiscent of white wildflowers and a touch of conifer from the cedar tank.
On the palate, it is light, taut, and well-calibrated. A soft sweetness and gentle umami provide the perfect foil to Amaneko’s signature grapefruit-like acidity and kabosu pith astringency, which tantalise the palate and lead to a crisp, refreshing finish.
「亜麻猫」は、新政ラインナップ中でも最も個性的な定番酒。清酒用麹に加え、焼酎用白麹を用いることで豊かなクエン酸由来の鮮烈な酸味を生み、日本酒と琉球文化の融合を体現しています。泡盛に必須の黒麹を祖とする白麹を活かし、伝統と実験精神を結びつけた存在です。さらに木桶仕込みを採用することで、新政の全作品の中でも最も長寿な作品となりました。定番化から長きにわたり異彩を放ち続ける、新政を象徴する革新酒です。
