Kaze no Mori秋津穂657 Freeze 2021BY
mana
A bottle of "freshly squeezed" sake, which Kaze no Mori has long pursued by taking advantage of the climate of Gosho, Nara, and using a special freezing technique to lock in the entire bottle. 2021BY Akitsuho 657 was quickly frozen, and after three years the brewer said, "I hope you will enjoy it." This special edition is available only during the Craft Sake Week. The fresh, mellow, and matured sake gave us a sense of new possibilities for Kaze no Mori.
When poured into a glass, it has a fruity aroma reminiscent of white grapes and green apples. In the mouth, a clean and smooth flavor spreads softly with bubbles that pop slightly. Sweetness, acidity, and a hint of bitterness overlap beautifully, and the wine has a bright outline and transparency that belies its three-year age. The fresh impression is maintained, and the wine softly and quietly blends well on the tongue.
This bottle is a perfect combination of the robust flavor typical of Akitsuho 657 and the roundness and density that only long-term ice aging can provide. It was a sake that carefully embodied Kaze no Mori's cherished concept of "sake that enriches everyday life" with skill and time. For fans of Kaze no Mori, this is a memorable Freeze that will leave them with new impressions and rediscoveries.
