Narutotai “LED (Red)”

Narutotai · Tokushima

Narutotai LED (Red) is a Junmai Ginjo from Honke Matsuura Shuzojo in Tokushima made with 100% Yamada Nishiki and the Tokushima-developed LED Yume Yeast 3826 Type2. The producer describes tropical fruit, a yogurt-like tart aroma, a subtle apple-like sweet aroma, and a juicy layered profile. Current producer pages describe the yeast as high-acid and designed to finish sweet, but do not publish one current SMV or acidity number.

Why we recommend it

A producer-backed example of why fruity sake should not be reduced to one sweetness number. The current brewery materials emphasize both pronounced acidity and sweetness alongside tropical aroma; exact analytical SMV/acidity values remain unstructured because the producer does not publish them on the current page.
