Finally, I could drink it. It's Nara Prefecture's sake, Kaze no Mori! I had seen this series many times, but never had a chance to buy it. I remember that the Harushika I drank the other day was also delicious. Especially when it was warmed up to lukewarm, it brought out the best flavor!
Now, this time, Kaze no Mori is a sake made from dewy leaf wind, a sake rice grown only in Nara Prefecture. I am excited to drink it for the first time. The description on the back of the label says it has a unique sourness and astringency, so I'm excited to see what it has to offer!
Now, open the bottle. A pleasant "pop! The sound is pleasant. The bottle opener is a bit of a surprise, as the bottle may pop when opened. The top aroma is not so strong, and is only slightly noticeable. When it is poured into a sake cup, you can see a slight carbonation of bubbles.
When I put it in my mouth with high expectations, I was surprised to find a mild umami and sourness at first! After that, an astringent taste penetrates to the back of the throat. The freshness characteristic of nama-shu spreads in the mouth.
When it is poured down the back of the throat, it leaves a good sharpness and a beautiful lingering taste, which is unique to the dewy leaf style. This is a flavor not found in Yamadanishiki or Aizan.
Kaze no Mori has many different series, so I definitely wanted to check out their other flavors! Especially the Aizan!
