Kaze no Mori / Akitsuho 657 / Junmai Nara Sake / Nama Sake
3.5
Commemorative 1) of 4 kinds of Kaze no Mori. 1,320 yen including tax. It is so cosy that it is absolutely wrongly priced.
However, the temperature is of utmost importance. Also, the time to drink it after opening. Considering that, it is probably best to drink it at home.
It has to be minus 5 to 10 degrees Celsius to bring out its potential. The wine has a light gasiness, minerality, and acidity on the palate. After a short time, the acidity and bitterness reverberate in the aftertaste. It goes well with food in general, but should be especially good with French cuisine.
From the brewery
Akitsuho 657 is a sake that can be called the "starting point of Kaze no Mori," which took on the bold and challenging challenge of shipping sake throughout the year in 1998, when unfiltered sake was still rare in the market.
The "65" stands for 65% polished rice and the "7" for No. 7 yeast. The "65" stands for 65% polished rice, and the "7" stands for No. 7 yeast. We no longer use the terms daiginjo and ginjo, which make consumers aware of the superiority of sake, and allow them to find the sake they really like from their taste buds."
I bought it online without any knowledge of what it was, but I had no idea it was the original Kaze no Mori.
