Gentle acidity and umami, like a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast.
It also has a sweetness like Wasanbon.
The aftertaste is smooth, but the length is normal.
I thought Shizen Shu was more light.

The aroma was a little classic, but the mouthfeel was light.
Sweet and savory, mellow and full-bodied.
A little bitterness remains in the aftertaste, but it is not heavy.

Challenging and interesting!
Sweet, tasty, acidic, and gutsy from the entrance, but is this sake?
The richness and body on the back end is something I have never felt before, and I can't describe it. If you try to feel the beer-like character, you can feel it, but when the temperature range goes up, it is quite sake-like!
It's a little different from my taste, so...

Prose
A craft beer brewed in collaboration with Nara Brewery, "UNDERWATER" brewed with Kaze no Mori brewing water and No. 7 yeast, and a beer to be drunk at the same time.
From the first sip, or rather from the aroma, this one has a considerable sake-like quality. Is this the power of the yeast? Is it the power of water?
The aroma is a world unknown in craft beer so far!
The sourness and umami at the entrance give a sense of Kaze no Mori. There is also a maltiness in the aftertaste, which is interesting. Drinkability reminiscent of lager beer.
I have been into craft beers recently, and I realized the power of hops is great!
I don't know which one I'm drinking, even though the main ingredients are so different (like ALPHA8 with carbonation -> UNDERWATER).
Mmmm, delicious!
The sweetness is much stronger than usual Kaze no Mori, especially at the entrance.
If you say it has a white malted rice-like citrusiness, well, that's true, but the acidity is not as assertive as I thought it would be (probably because I'm comparing it to Flax Cat, but...).
The umami is well asserted and the balance is really good.
The lingering aftertaste is more subdued than the standard, but again pleasant, as is typical of Kaze no Mori.
Higher rating than 🐱.

Drinking comparison, both have in common
The overall taste is considerably more refreshing than the usual Kaze no Mori Akitsuho.
Especially the back palate is very light.
On the other hand, the depth of sweetness and umami is typical of Kaze no Mori
It is hard to believe that this is a very low-polished wine.
Compared to the Trial Edition
Lighter on the entry and a little sourness on the back palate.
The aroma and taste are like white grapes and white flowers.
It is hard to say which one is my favorite, but the difference is very slight.

Overall, it is considerably more refreshing than the usual Kaze no Mori Akitsuho.

On the other hand, the thickness of sweetness and umami is typical of Kaze no Mori
It is hard to believe that this is a very low-polished wine.
Compared to R6BY Sugiura/Nishi District
Aroma and sweetness are a little strong.
It has a mellow and ripe fruit flavor like banana and melon, similar to the regular one.

Dangerous sake.
It has a strong acidity like passion fruit and a rich sweetness, which is immediately followed by a fizziness and a slight sake-like bitterness.
The acidity lingers in the mouth like 100% fruit juice.
You can drink it like that!

The taste has a sense of quality that only the price is worth.
Drank cold, it has a soft, gentle sweetness and rich umami, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing, just like a daiginjo.
Considering the cost performance

First newborn Senkou, completely caught off guard by fire entry...
20~30% of the bottle erupted and disappeared.
It tastes like green apple, muscat, and other young green fruits, with dense sweetness, acidity, and umami.
The overly vigorous effervescence is also enjoyable and makes it even easier to drink.
The back palate has a refreshing lactic acidity that is typical of a sake brewed using the traditional sake yeast.
It is a classic though it seems modern enough... I want to drink both modern and retro!
It's as good as you'd expect from a modern sake.

The mellowness of the sake, which is typical of ogara-mi, and the gorgeousness of spring sake, are refreshing and suitable for a meal, but they also coexist well with each other.
Full of umami!
Perhaps it is because it is paired with local products, but Kesennuma is delicious!

Light at the entrance, but sweetness is felt firmly in the middle.
It is lighter than Soutenden.
It is easy to drink, probably because of its low alcohol content.

Refreshing, refreshing and fresh.
The mid-palate is delicious, but the finish is quite light.
Easy to drink with no peculiarities, but also fruity, ideal as a food wine, and recommended for all people.

This is the second Imi following the Special Junmai, a low-polished BLACK that seems to have been produced for the first time in 10 years!
The special junmai was quite sweet, but the sweetness was much more restrained compared to the special junmai.
In other words, it is a light sweet sake.
The sweet and juicy flavor of the deepest type is somewhat reminiscent of the sweet and juicy flavor of the "Bi", and it can be asserted without being too prominent in a meal.
It doesn't have the complexity of a low-polished rice.
I prefer it to Tokusyu Junmai.

Slightly strong umami, leaving a firm aftertaste but without any peculiarities.
Not much Daiginjo-ness, but the overall balance is good.
When the temperature rises, the sweetness becomes much stronger.

Kararu!
Well-balanced sweetness, umami, and acidity, but with a strong acidity that is refreshing, just like a spring sake.
A little sweetness remains at the end, and the aftertaste is rather long.
Although it is sweet, it can be drunk smoothly all the time.

The nose is clear from start to finish, but as is typical of spring sake, there is a gorgeous aroma that lingers on the nose.
The taste is not very spring-like, and there is almost no sweetness in particular.
Excellent as a food sake

Sweet berry flavor typical of spring sake, juicy in the mid-palate.
Light at the beginning, but with a slightly long aftertaste and a firm sweetness.
