This time, instead of No. 7 yeast, Kaze no Mori used a special flower yeast called "Yamanokami Yeast" for the first time.
This sake is a charity sake to support the recovery of the brewery that was damaged by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in 2024.
The fragrance is gorgeous, with a slight gaseous sensation, and a refined sweetness and acidity that are typical of Kaze no Mori.

Speaking of spring, this is what I'm talking about.
Red yeast ooze has accumulated up to the mouth, open it slowly so it doesn't blow out in the second fermentation.
Sake level is -55, super sweet, acidity is 3.3, and alcohol level is 11 degrees, so it is easy to drink ◎.

Kaze no Mori - Let's take the Kaze no Mori train! Nama Sake
It came with a ticket for the Kaze no Mori train, but it was fully booked.
I like acidic sake, sweet and sour with a strong sourness.
Note on opening the bottle: ⚠️, the bottle was lightly spiked when opened, but after 2 days, it spiked with a loud sound as if the bottle was about to fly open.

Akitsuho 657
I bought it because it was on sale at a liquor store near my house, but the premium price was more than 1,000 yen higher than I expected.
The taste is stable fruity with a pleasant acidity.
It is very good with a light gassy taste.

The sake is made using the traditional sake yeast and has an alcohol content of 18%, which gives it a strong taste.
You can feel the acidity and it does not feel too thin even on the rocks.
