Ah, it's delicious! Mature, calm, and refreshingly delicious (*ωω*) I really like this kind of refreshing sweetness these days! It's like a beautiful Marunouchi woman in high heels, going about her business, and not forgetting to be kind at times!

Long time no see sake~! I got the best score in golf today, so I'm celebrating (*´ω*). Happy! Delicious! Happy!
It's very sweet, and I've loved this kind of flavor since I got into sake. It's easy to get into, sweet, but not too sweet, and easy to drink.

Sweet and delicious~! Kind of like a wind forest, but more fruity than usual! Also, good thing it's only 14 degrees of alcohol!
I left half of it in the bottle and drank it two days later, but the carbonation was gone and the sweetness was still there, so it's just as good~!
On 11/2, I had it with salmon and yellowtail sashimi!
On 11/4, we'll have it with crab shabu!

Ta-ma-ya! I've been waiting till today for the fireworks at Kaze no Mori! I couldn't make it in time for the real-time streaming from Aburanaga Shuzo, so I'm drinking while watching the archives (*´ω*).
Feels like it's been a while since I've had sake itself! Delicious~! It tastes like what I imagine Kaze no Mori to taste like, but I think it's milder in its claims than usual.
Paired with fried peppers and ground beef, salmon sashimi, blue cheese, and soba!
Sake 2021 to set off fireworks for everyone!

Taste／Less sweet, less fizzy, refreshing, goes well with food! You've hit the nail on the head!
I went there with the intention of buying Yamamori, but I was intrigued by the word "super dry" and bought it.
Japanese>English
アザラシ3合
Delicious~! It has a nice pineapple sweetness, and a nice sharpness or feeling that goes away quickly. However, I felt the alcohol was stronger than usual today, so I couldn't drink it all...
Served with Kampachi sashimi and Ratatouille!

アザラシ3合
Uh! Ma! Su! Gee! It's so good!
What is this? It's so good! So good! It's got a nice intensity to it, with just a hint of sweetness. I knew it would be good from the label and the way it looked, but it's just like the label says!
I'd like to drink it with somen noodles, but I can't have somen noodles because of the salt content...too bad. With sashimi (salmon and yellowtail)!

アザラシ3合
Mmm~! It's sweet! It still has the feeling of Kaze no Mori, but it's sweet and easy to drink, like there's sugar in it. The label on the back says "brewing method from the Muromachi period", and I'm surprised that people have been tasting such delicious food since such a long time ago.
Sashimi, Ratatouille and all!

Mild, mellow, delicious! Something unique! More acidic? The sweetness isn't there at first, but I think I can taste the sweetness in the aftertaste. Also, there's no sizzle, but there's a carbonation that goes through the nose. Hmmm, strange! Holy shit, it's delicious anyway!
I'd pair it with fresh wasabi from Izu, Iwate salmon or octopus, shellfish, sashimi such as tuna or kampachi, and a cucumber tuna salad!

Aah! Delicious! That's the Wind Forest! When I found it at the store, I was like, "What, Aisan! Kaze no Mori's Aisan! I thought it would have a strong sourness, but it has a proper balance of sweetness, flavor, sourness, and bitterness. I thought the sweetness was like grapes, but the label on the back also said "apple and grape aroma".
Also, I thought it had an Omachi-like flavor and a Yamadanishiki-like flavor, but Aizan's grandparents were Omachi and Yamadanishiki...! I didn't know that...!
With chicken hot pot! I can wash away the pain of work with this! (lol)

I looked back at mine and it was winter tank 7008!
Is there a difference in taste? I'm curious ✨.

Today's evening session is Yamori! It's a freshly purchased today, cold, but lol. Completely in love at first sight (*ω*).
The scent is ramune. And it's delicious~! Gentle and gorgeous sweetness. But I imagined it would taste like ramune too, but it's slightly fizzy and the taste might not be that ramune. It's a little sour and bitter in a complex way, and that's what makes it so good, and I can't believe it's under 2000 yen!
Along with sashimi on the horn (4 pieces of honmaguro, salmon from Iwate, and engawa) and meatballs (for tomorrow, but taste it)!

Ah, delicious, happy! It's something I drank before, but I'll write down how I'm feeling now φ(．．) A reward for getting through the day (I feel like it's too extravagant)
For a Kaze no Mori, it's clean and uncluttered. I like the delicious miscellaneous flavors of Omachi 80, but this one seems to be more integrated. The sweetness that goes through the nose, which is the image of Kaze no Mori, and the delicious bitterness that you can feel slightly afterwards are also good (*´ω*).
Serve it with kijihata or salmon sashimi!

Thanks for your comment, resting bird! Sorry for the late response & I'm afraid it's a decisive comment after an important rest day. The expression "grapefruit" in your log is the one! I thought it was the best decision I've ever made.

Delicious~! Of course it has the Kaze no Mori and Omachi-like taste and "character" of foam and sweetness, but it's less flamboyant than usual and more elegant than usual. But at 2200 yen, this is too good to pass up. ......!
Along with lettuce, buri and salmon sashimi! The sake and salmon are so good I think I'm going to lose my mind lol.

I feel like this is the first sake I've had in a long time (*´ω*) The label is pink and cute! It has a Yamada Nishiki feel, a Kaze no Mori feel, and I thought it was delicious, but then I heard that the rice polishing rate is 30%...! I thought it was delicious, but then I heard that the milling rate was 30%...! For that, the taste seems to have a strong personality... horrible...
Wait, I thought I bought this for 3300 yen... Eh, 30% rice polishing ratio...? Is this sake okay? Isn't it too outrageous? But it's really good, so I guess it's okay...

(This is a past review.) Delicious as always! And it's great that the price is so reasonable.
It has a nice bitterness and is not too sweet, so it goes down easy. But it's not too thin and the flavor is strong. It's a pity that I can't write a review because it goes by so fast (^_^;)

It's still so delicious! I really like it! Sweet and bitter, with a good balance of acidity. The alcoholic sensation that comes through the nose may put some sake beginners off, but it's delicious!
