The next generation 657 in the Akitsuho 657 pilot trial.
It does not lose its unique fruity character, but is considerably lighter and has less of a lingering finish. But Akitsuho is still delicious.
★★★★☆
Comparison of Akitsuho, including S Kaze no Mori.
My personal preference is
S Kaze no Mori First Edition > Kaze no Mori Akitsuho 657 > Akitsuho 657Next
But they are all delicious!
More solid than the previous LanchEdition
Akitsuho, a paddy field with 15 times more soil bacteria than the previous crop
Quintessential goodness
★★★★★
Taste Comparison
Because they are Akitsuho? They are very similar.
S-Kaze no Mori has a slightly more cypress-like aroma.
Both are delicious!
So far, I prefer the regular Kaze no Mori.
