This is one of the last bottles from this year's Wadaya Hanpukai meeting. It has been a while since I drank a Kaze no Mori, but I remembered how impressed I was when I first drank it. As the temperature rises a bit, it becomes more flavorful.
A souvenir from Karuizawa. At first it seems sweet, but as time goes by, it becomes well-balanced and easy to drink. It is a sake that can be enjoyed with a meal.
A bottle from the Wadaya Hanpukai. Rebranded last year, the label is old-fashioned, but the taste is fresh and current. The alcohol content is low at 13%, making it easy to drink.
A gift. It had been laid down for a while, so it tasted a little old, but it has a mellow taste. It is well balanced and a bottle of high quality. The taste is in the lineage of traditional sake.
A bottle of Wadaya's distribution. When I opened it, the lid flew off and the gassiness was amazing. At first the sweetness is strong, but it gradually settles down and is wonderfully done.
A bottle from the Wadaya Hanpukai. Fermented in the bottle for a month and a half, it has a strong effervescence. It is fresh & juicy, easy to drink, and a bottle will be empty in no time.
A bottle of Wadaya Hanpukai. This is the first time to drink this sake brewery. It is dry but has a little sweetness due to its light nigori, and is well balanced.
Wadaya original and one of the hanpukai. I have the impression that it has shifted a little more toward a sake-like flavor than before. It has the goodness of ogara-mi, and you can enjoy different tastes at the beginning and at the end.
The aromatic child of the land of origin. Excellent workmanship, with a good balance of fruity and effervescence. Goes well with meals and a bottle will be empty in no time. 13° alc.
The first bottle of this year's Wadaya Hanpukai. It is a fresh sake, easy to drink. The low alcohol content (13%) makes it easy to pair with food. It is in line with the current trend.
