KazenomoriALPHA 5 燗SAKEの探求純米原酒生酒無濾過貴醸酒
alt 1

K
When drunk cold, it has a subdued Kaze no Mori feeling. The aroma is not as mellow and delicate as usual. Warmed up to lukewarm. Sourness and complexity, typical of the Bodhi yeast and Kaze no Mori's ALPHA series, come together at once! At the same time, it also has a freshness. The sweetness and umami, perhaps derived from kijo sake, is not too strong, but it is stronger than the original Kaze no Mori Akitsuho with a light aftertaste. Kaze no Mori is great for warming up! 5.0

The bottle was in pretty good health, and we almost opened it, but we managed to get it safe. After the crispness spreads on the tongue, the concentrated grapefruit-like acidity, melon-like sweetness, and umami open up in a flash! The finish is sharp and clean with a touch of bitterness. 4.5

Kunifutsuru is the only rice that is currently labeled as a raw material. However, the ratio of polished rice is not disclosed. Sakura Fukuhime is no exception to the gentle, light aroma and smooth taste that is common to all Kunifutsuru wines. However, the fruity, juicy, and acidic characteristics of this wine, as described in the product description, are designed to set it apart from other wines. I prefer it to junmai, junmai dry or junmai daiginjo, but it does not have the impact of regular sake. Maybe my expectations were too high. 4.0

Nama-zake limited to the unveiling tasting event The aroma of this sake was so pleasant that I thought it was a daiginjo, and the mild acidity was so beautifully fruity and fresh that I was surprised when I first tasted it. I have always preferred sake at room temperature to cold, but I think this one should be served cold! I hope it will be commercialized! I'm still thinking about the cost performance of regular sake, but I'm not so sure. 5.0

The aroma, sweetness, and umami are similar to those of junmai and junmai-daiginjo-style dry wines, but with a more graceful and beautifully balanced finish. It is not particularly light in the mouthfeel or aftertaste, but you can taste the umami and the sweetness, which is typical of Kunitatsuru Junmai Daiginjos. 4.0

I received a set of 8 bottles from Costco to compare, so I started with Kita-Akita. I had already had Junmai Daiginjo, so I omitted it. It's gorgeous and light, with a touch of daiginjo in the mouthfeel. Considering the price range and availability, it is delicious enough! I honestly can't tell the difference between it and Jun Daigin. 4.0

The aroma was mild, but slightly dry compared to the impression of sweetness. Light on the palate, with a pleasant gasiness and the richness and acidity of a traditional sake brewed with sake yeast. When the temperature range is raised, the sweetness and umami can be felt in a certain way, but it may be too much for a mid-meal drink. It is better to open it for a few days to open up the aroma. It's delicious, but I'd like to consider the cost performance. 4.0

You can feel the gorgeous, mellow sweetness and umami that is typical of Aizan, and you can feel it in abundance. However, both the entrance and the aftertaste are not peculiar and easy to drink! I like Aizan after all! 5.0

Compared to Akitsuho 657, it seems more complex and full-bodied. The impression is similar to that of the previous dewy leaf style, perhaps due to the rice polishing ratio. The freshness of the unpasteurized sake is also a pleasant element. The bitterness, which is not too strong, is also more pronounced. However, it is delicious! 4.5

This is the most orthodox Akitsuho 657 from Kaze no Mori, and it's the first time I've had it! It has a wonderful taste full of "character" that is suitable for the flagship of Kaze no Mori! Good cost performance, too! 5.0

The most gorgeous and fruity rice wine I have ever tasted! Light on the palate, the sweet and tasty acidity spreads throughout the mouth, but fades away quickly and comfortably. A very well-balanced bottle. 4.5

Atago no Matsu for the first new sake of 2024BY Freshness and vibrancy are not lacking, but they are moderate. Calm acidity prevails. The sweetness and umami of the rice is also moderate, but spreads smoothly and gently. Very light on the back palate. 4.0

It's Sake Day, so we opened a set of aged sake we received. Daiginjo 1 year Almost no sense of maturity There is a little bit of umami, but it is mostly water. Fruity taste comes out as the temperature rises. Junmai Ginjo 5 years Not much difference in the sense of maturity. There seems to be a little bit of a tangy taste due to the junmai nature of the sake, but it's only a slight difference. Daiginjo 10 years The aroma suddenly has a different sense of maturity. It is quite habitual and I personally dislike it It tastes like Shaoxing sake 3.0

Aside from the Tsuruling, which I think is a summer sake, it is the lightest first impression of today's three. Relatively high acidity. But it also has a long lingering umami taste, which is typical of hiyaoroshi, and sweetness can be felt at the mouth. 4.5

The taste is similar to Choyo Fukumusume It is not hiya oroshi, so it tastes lighter. The difference is 0.5* depending on your taste. Comment: Thin, but tasty! 4.5 ★Taste
