-Kenji Murakami
It has been a long time since the "Wind Forest".
It's Father's Day,
We were a little bit extravagant and picked Akitsuho 657 from the middle of the bottle.
It is the part that drips from the press without applying pressure, which makes it soft on the palate and rich in aroma.
It is so refreshing and gaseous that it is hard to believe that the rice is polished to 65%, the quintessence of Kaze no Mori.
I would like to drink it again.
Very fruity aroma of grape type. Chilli. The core is firm, but it slips out easily, leaving a clean and crisp finish. It leaves a beautiful aftertaste. Aizan. Negimata
Does ice aging give roundness to the quality of sake?

The theme of ALPHA1 is to pursue and evolve the possibilities of sake with creative techniques. The Kaze no Mori is designed with a low 11% alcohol content, and at 500ml, it's a little small for me💦.
Bodai-brewing is an ancient technique developed at Bodai-san Shoreki-ji, the birthplace of sake in Japan, where the acid and amino acids from a special lactic fermentation process add complexity and depth to the sake.
Hmmm...hmmm...I read the back of the bottle while sipping it.
It has a fizzy, bubbly, melon-like fruitiness. The lactic acidity is also very nice, making it easy to drink. The bottle is small, so I have a feeling I'll finish it before the flavors change. I wonder if it is naturally urging me to drink slowly 🤔.

I bought a bottle of Kaze no Mori, which is hard to find at liquor stores, even though there are many on the shelves.
It is slightly carbonated and has a strong flavor.
Rich sweetness. A little sourness. The rest is something hard to explain.
Something that doesn't suit me...
Is that why I can't get it?
The summer sake is released at 11 degrees. The sweetness and complexity of the rice, the minerality of the brewing water, and the gentle slight acidity of the "bodhi yeast" are abundant and light. These elements come together to give a grapefruit feeling.
