ごぉにぃごぉI wanted to drink Kaze no Mori for the first time in a while, so I bought it in Akita during a break from work.
Recently, more and more stores are selling Kaze no Mori and Nabeshima.
I think Akitsuho is the best Kaze no Mori.
The wisteria flowers started to be lit up last week, but it was a bit early.
But the night view is beautiful, so that's good.
And I got to shake hands with Ohtani-san (^^)

ごぉにぃごぉGood evening, Jay & Nobby.
If you want to shake hands with Otanisan, you can do it at the Oshu Fujiwara no Sato.
It is a place often used for filming period dramas.
At the end of June, they have a firefly viewing party.
hoshiakiJunmai Unrefined Unpasteurized Nama Sake🍶807 Series Omachi from Okayama Prefecture🌾.
807 series with 80% low milled rice and No.7 yeast 🤔 The smell of cemedine is a bit harsh 😅, dry and sharp ✨. Shime saba🐟 reduces the seme smell a bit and makes it easier to drink.
Sake and Robata Yaki Unari @ Omiya 20240209
Narasake saruThis is a very special Kazenomori bottle.
It's so fruity and has a little acidity because of lactic acid.
It's a memorial bottle of the collaboration with the Kintetsu railway. Actually, a QRL code is described on the label and you can book a tour of Yucho brewery on March 20.
Narasake saruThis is brewed using No.6 yeast of Aramasa brewery, so it's called "6号への敬意". As the name tells, it tastes fruity and acidic like No.6. I can feel their respect for Aramasa and its yeast from this sake.
kizensNotes of muscat, banana, incense, and Leoville-like soda.
Clean and slightly effervescent.
Sweet and sour, with a touch of minerality. The flavor is intense but extremely refreshing.
Serve with grilled eggplant with fresh onion, edamame tofu, sesame-dressed tomatoes, chikuzen-ni (boiled and seasoned), and mushroom omelette.
OrfevreGolden in color like beer in appearance
Roasted aroma reminiscent of black beer and caramel
The mouthfeel is very clean and smooth, not like it is made from 100% brown rice
Smoky roasted taste, rich and sweet with little bitterness, like beer
Despite its alien appearance, it still has the usual Kaze no Mori-like petit carbonation.
It was an interesting sake that changed my concept of sake
N.E.
At 80% milling ratio, you would expect the rice flavor to be pushed to the forefront, but it is well balanced by the acidity and gassiness that are its specialty!
It is a great achievement to be able to taste the freshness and aroma of 80% polished rice!
のこあきThe aroma was sweet, but it was always light and mellow wind forest in the mouth with a pleasant aroma that was difficult to describe.
The label said it was drier than sweet, but my personal opinion is that it was more sweet.
It's still delicious, though (laughs).
たくのんThe aroma was very normal sake,
When you drink it, it has a tangy taste, but it tastes like melon🍈.
It has a slightly bitter aftertaste and is refreshing.
If you are not careful, you can drink as much as you want.
おれんじWind Forest ALPHA6
Respect for No. 6, 2023, picked in the middle.
Last year's tag was a flax cat, but this year it is No.6 nice in the shape of rice!
This time the rice milling ratio is 70%.
The color is clear and healthy even when the bottle is opened.
In the mouth it has a clean sweetness and light flavor that leaves the palate.
It is delicious again this year 😋.
KumakichiThe sixth bottle of GW sake opened
Kaze no Mori: Homage to No.6 Nakadori Unfiltered Nama-shu
This is the Nakadori version of the Respect for No. 6, which was also released around March.
The chutori has a plate that looks like a dog tag of 6!
The last year it was a picture of a flax cat, but this year it was a letter 6 in the shape of rice!
The taste is light and shwashy, just like Kaze no Mori. It tasted like an adult's cider, and you could drink it in one gulp!
Rice polishing ratio: 70% (100% Akitsuho rice used)
Alcohol content: 14%.
