Kaze no Mori is always delicious, so I tend to go through with it, but if I don't buy it when I notice it, I won't drink it forever, so this is the first time I've had Akitsuho..!
It has nuances of green banana and young melon.
It tastes quite complex, and at first I thought it might be sweet and sour, but then the acidity takes over and it turns dry. It is very tasty even when the temperature rises because you don't feel it from the second day!
Also, a strong bitterness comes out at the end. Overall, this sake has a strong flavor and a dizzying development, so I guess people who like this can't stand it.
Surprisingly, it is not sweet, so it is more suited for eating than on its own. One drawback of low-pasteurization is that it feels rough because of its complexity, but it doesn't bother me much when I drink it with a meal. It is rather super tasty!
To summarize my personal recommendation, if you chill it properly, you will not feel the complexity as a cloying taste, and if you drink it with a meal, the roughness of the low-purity will become milder, making it very tasty! I think I'll have the 657 next time I'm in the market.
