Taste
Normal attack, slightly carbonated, bitter
Chocolate banana, sweetness comes first, but later complex flavors rush in, acidity is not so much.
Slightly strong, with a strong presence.
Aftertaste
Bitterness lingers.
good as a mid-meal drink
Loud sound when the lid is opened
Aroma and taste that is hard to believe it is made with 80% polished rice
The sense of fizz is weak.
It has a refreshing feeling typical of Kaze no Mori and an easy-to-drink mouthfeel without being too sweet, which is what I would call this.
It is a stable juicy type of rice.
It is a stable juicy type, but it is also less sweet than other rice varieties.
I would like to try this one in a variety of different ways.

Recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Strong attack with sweetness, acidity and astringency.
The aftertaste is dry and sharp, well-balanced.
Aromas of muscat, grapes and pears.
There is a gaseous feeling due to the sake being unpasteurized.
Smooth, well-balanced and delicious sake
I drank it yesterday and I'll drink it again today... Today I bought a bottle of Kaze no Mori in Nara.
I thought it was a mild dry sake with a sour taste, not too sweet. It is plain for a Kaze no Mori and would go well with anything! With an alcohol content of 13 degrees, it is safe (?) to drink! It is safe (?) to drink!
I served it with fried horse mackerel, tuna tataki, and lettuce salad!

This is the middle of Kaze no Mori! It seems to be!
Fresh fruitiness with a complex flavor with a bit of meloniness. It's been a while since I've had this, but it's good! And it's only 1,540 yen!
Solid taste
