Kaze no Mori山田錦507 笊籬(イカキ)採り
ぺっかーる
This is a limited edition sake for the Kaze no Mori WEEKS venue!
After a day of rest, we will open the bottle immediately today. I was looking forward to it from the moment I woke up in the morning.
The aroma is slightly strawberry.
I'll have a sip!
Yes, as expected. There is no sense of fizz. However, it is very tasty!
I felt it was sweet, but it calmed down after the second sip. It is soft. It's like various fruits are intertwined with each other. It is a delicious fruity~~. It also has a nice aftertaste.
I had it with a glass of Wind Forest.
I'm going to have another glass for the third time (laughs).

This is a limited edition sake from Kaze no Mori WEEKS.
It has a rich aroma. This, this!" This is the Kaze no Mori we know. It is delicious!
It's moist and fruity rather than refreshing! It has the sweetness of chewing gum.
It also felt a bit nostalgic.
The talk at the seminar was very interesting.
The story about your encounter with Yusuke Sato of Shinmasa was great! Tomorrow, I will ask everyone at work who is not interested in sake to listen to it (laughs)!

This is a limited edition sake from Kaze no Mori WEEKS.
It is freshly pressed and flash-frozen, and is said to have appeared after three years.
It has a faint aroma of bondo. It is mildly fruity.
It didn't have any piquancy.
I asked the brewer, Chobei Yamamoto, about the "Kaze no Mori Shuwa Shuwa Pichi-Pichi-Problem" that is still simmering in my mind.
Mr. Yamamoto said, "The degree of fizziness changes depending on the timing of bottling. I hope people can enjoy each Kaze no Mori whether it has a fizzy feeling or not. That makes sense!
I'm enjoying Kaze no Mori right away, starting with this one!

I went to the Wind Forest WEEKS 2025~!
This is the second time I have been to WEEKS2025, following last year. This year, I bought an original glass and I am in a happy mood.
I also attended a seminar by Chobei Yamamoto.
There were about 12 people in the hall. It included a tasting of two kinds of Kaze no Mori.
Both were poured by Mr. Yamamoto! I'm so happy~!
This is Akitsuho 507. It is both pear-like and melon-like. At the end, I felt a sweetness like melted sugar. However, the aftertaste is light.
The other is "Bodai Yuan Alpha 1". This one is smoother in comparison.
It is also sweeter. It is a different impression from the Alpha 1 we had last year.
But both are delicious! No doubt about it!
Mr. Yamamoto gave me his autograph again! Yay!

I've been curious about this for a long time, so I bought it.
I have never bought from Naohiko Noguchi Laboratory because they have many expensive products.
This is the lowest priced product among them.
It is under "Kannon" and reads like "Kanagaso" 😳. I guess it's taken from the address of the brewery 😳.
I guess it's taken from the address of the warehouse 😌.
At room temperature. The first aroma has a strong alcohol taste. It has a savory aroma like cookies and butter for a moment.
The mouthfeel is thick. There is no sense of maturity.
It is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that it has been aged 4 years.
It has a strong, but sweet and spicy taste, and a fine flavor.
I think it tastes sweeter when served cold, but the alcohol taste is even stronger 🤔.

Hello Manachie-san ☀☀☀
I'd love to try Aizan or something like it but it costs around 5000 yen 😳
I'd like to drink it outside if I could, but I don't see it at izakaya because it's so expensive 😭

I had a good impression of it when I tasted it at the brewery festival, but I couldn't find it in the market and finally found it at Daimaru Shinsaibashi.
The acidity is quite impressive. It has a mellow flavor of rice and a bit of spiciness. Not too sweet and not too spicy. Flavors of citrus and yogurt-like nuances.
I get the impression that it is quite sweet among Tamanomitsu's sakes.
It seems to be pretty much in line with the current trend 🤔.

Kaze no MoriWEEKS 2024 露葉風507 真中採り
ぺっかーる
Huh? I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
I looked at the label again and it says "dewy leaf wind".
Was there dewy leaf wind on the yellow label?
I thought it was Yamada-Nishiki and drank it.
I wonder...
"This is Yamada-Nishiki, the label is wrong!" No, "This is the correct dewy leaf style!"
Hmmm, I don't know.
But I have the impression that Yamada-Nishiki is clearer...
So, I think that the mistake is on the yellow front side, and the contents are dewy leaf style as the label says.
I can't say that the yellow is wrong to begin with, though.
Here is my post before I realized it, lol.
Bottom line is, it tastes good either way!
I was looking forward to this Wind Forest.
Immediately after opening the bottle, it has the usual shwashy feeling.
The sourness spreads from the top of the tongue to the entire mouth.
This moment is the most delicious.
From the second glass, it has calmed down.
Instead, the aroma seems to have increased.
It is mellow but smart and easy to drink. It is very tasty!
I read your post.
I'm also interested in the heated Wind Forest and the Alpha 8. Oh, and the 6 as well. I want to drink it!

*P.S!
During the event, Yamada-Nishiki 507 Manchu Kari was sold out.
After that, the same yellow label was used, but it was replaced by Rohafu 507 Mid-Selection!

I got it at Kaze no Mori WEEKS in Shinsaibashi~!
It's an Alpha 1 ice-aged wine!
It tasted slightly thicker and sweeter, but with a slight increase in sweetness.
As always, your mouth will be captivated by the spicy fizz. Yum!
I would like to try it next time in Gosho City!
I won a badge in the raffle drawing.
I would like to wear it on my rick.
Oh, I also had a cocktail of Tachibana Gin. It was surprisingly delicious.

I went to Shinsaibashi! Kaze no Mori WEEKS.
And I attended a seminar by Chobei Yamamoto, the 13th generation owner of the brewery~!
The Kaze no Mori with tasting was ALPHA 1.
The slight effervescence in the mouth is unmistakable.
The fruity taste is well asserted by the acidity.
It is truly a delicious sake.
Mr. Yamamoto said, "I want to make sake that will make the local community proud.
I decided to visit the brewery's Gosho City next time.
Mr. Yamamoto gave me his autograph! I am so happy!
I am already the door to the next chapter....
I have completely opened the Wind Forest. I've become a big fan~!

Hi, ma-ki-!
I have been looking forward to this event for a long time.
The day before was as exciting and fidgety as the night before a field trip, lol.

I would like to visit many places!

Kaze no Mori WEEKS 2024 is being held at Daimaru Shinsaibashi store in Osaka until 10/6.
This is a sake made from Kaze no Mori's dewy leaf wind 507, which is flash-frozen with a special technology and kept for 3 years.
Let's take a "superb time trip!
The appearance is silver-green, almost transparent.
It has a gaseous feel with faint gas bubbles in the glass.
The aroma is fresh and gorgeous, with a chili chili wind forest aroma.
Fresh pear with fine acidity, ruby grapefruit, nearly ripe banana, and young melon.
There is also a beautiful rice aroma about the size of Kamishinko.
The gasiness is gentle and the texture is smooth and smooth.
A rich sweetness spreads, followed by a mildly stimulating acidity.
The beautiful umami of the rice flows with a slight bitter flavor and disappears, leaving behind a pleasant acidic stimulation.
The lingering aftertaste is long and gentle.
It is beautiful and rich.
Perhaps due to its ice-cold storage, there is absolutely no browning of the exterior or aged aroma, and the wine is still fresh and gassy, but the texture and taste are round and concentrated due to the aging process.
In a sense, it's like a beautiful combination of aging, and it's my favorite among the Kaze no Mori wines I've had so far.
It was very tasty. ☺️

Hi Hirupeko 😃
As a fan of Kaze no Mori, I had to go 😁.
There are many theories about what makes a good aged sake, it depends on one's taste and TPO, but this is a sake that even those who don't like aged sake should try: ☺️

Hi ma-ki-😃
I'm not sure if Kaze no Mori jacked up the Daimaru Shinsaibashi store, but it's an interesting initiative by a single brewery!

2023 Year in Review.
Purchased at Grand Cercle, Liquor Shop, B2F, Daimaru Shinsaibashi.
Shin Tsuchida Happy Hill" completely additive-free brewing, raw yeast (land rice cultivated Happy Hill) [Tsuchida Shuzo, Gunma].
We liked Shin Tsuchida K that we drank a while ago, so we chose this from the same brand.
Rice is usually grown in rice paddies, but the rice used to make this one was grown in a field of soil! Historically, upland rice is said to be older than paddy rice.
The first taste is a dry and mild one, followed by a mellow but firm taste. After that, a mellow but firm umami flavor sinks in. The aftertaste is light and light for a flavorful wine. It is very easy to drink and tastes great with strong dishes such as meat and oily foods.

2023 Year in Review.
Purchased at Grand Cercle, Liquor Shop, B2F, Daimaru Shinsaibashi.
Mutsu Hachisen Green Label" Special Junmai [Hachinohe Shuzo, Aomori].
It has been aged moderately after being laid down for the summer, giving it a rounded, angular mouthfeel.
It has a moderate sweetness with a hint of fragrance and acidity lurking in the depths. The stable, down-to-earth taste continues without any deterioration from the first sip to the aftertaste after swallowing, and slowly fades away, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Come to think of it, this green label is the first Mutsu Hassen that I have ever tasted, and it is the reason why Mutsu Hassen became my favorite.

Shin Tsuchida K" Kijozo-shu Brewing [Tsuchida Shuzo, Gunma].
To be frank, it is a very sweet sake, but at the same time, it has a strong umami taste. This is something I have never had before. Although it is not a fruity type, I think it is something that even beginners can enjoy.
This is probably the first time I've had Tsuchida's sake, but it's one of my favorites right away.

The joy of opening the sake you bought for New Year's Day.
This limited edition sake is released to celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of a new year.
It lacks the fruity flavor of the mainstream Hakusen series. It has a slight umami flavor with a strong acidity. It has a strong dryness and a sharp aftertaste with a bit of bitterness. It is a bit bitter and dry.
It goes well with strong dishes that would normally be served with beer.

I was wondering why I couldn't go to a store that sold them, but I found a variety of Tsuchida at Daimaru Shinsaibashi.
It has a lactobacillus-like and greef-like taste. It's not so sparkling, but slightly effervescent. It tastes sour and sweet.
I would have liked a little more sparkle 🤔.

Bought this after tasting it at Daimaru. Is it my imagination that the pattern of the label looks like something🤔?
It has a density that reminds me of doburoku. The taste is refined and clean for a nigorizake. Good balance of sweet and spicy. A little citrus. There is also a good taste of rice. I think the sweetness increases a few days after opening.
I think 1980 yen is cheap for using a centrifugal separator and milling 50% of the rice.
