Kaze no Mori / 25th Anniversary / Future Sake I / Nama-Shu
★4.5
Commemorative 4 types of Kaze no Mori 4.
This year 2023 is the 25th anniversary of Kaze no Mori brand.
The theme of this year's sake is Kaze no Mori after 25 years, "5 kinds of microorganisms". It is true that delicious sake is becoming more uniform in taste. I wondered if differentiation strategy will be really important in the future.
The fizzy sensation upon opening the bottle is as usual; unlike ALPHA6, the fizz and lingering aftertaste from the acidity on the palate is terrific.
2,750 yen including tax. Since it was purchased separately, it cost 4,000 yen including postage. Expensive, but delicious. The lingering aftertaste on the palate is too amazing to be described in words. This is what "5 kinds of microorganisms" is all about. This is definitely a sake that is on the level of a sake competition.
Even at room temperature, you can simply enjoy the sense of fizz and the lingering taste of microorganisms. The price is crazy for the time and effort that goes into the preparation as described below. Other brands would be in the 5,000 yen class quality.
The following is an excerpt from the official website
[1] Yeast (No. 7)
[2] Yellow yeast fungus (Kunikin)
[3] Shorakuji lactic acid bacteria (found at Shorakuji Temple)
[4] Pichia (a type of yeast)
[5] White yeast (shochu koji)
All of the bacteria from [1] to [5] play an active role in Miraikoshu I.
