I had not known the other brewery's sake produced by Bodaimoto until I try this.
It tastes as fruity as Mimurosugi's one. This uses the Omachi which is not ranked because of the failure. However, it definitely is so good.

Moretz interopened ALPHA The final chapter of the drinking comparison: ‼️
This sake is a TYPE2 pure large specs 😊.
It's also being sold as a relief sake for the victims of last month's heavy rain: ☺️
We wish the victims a speedy recovery 🙇♂️
The rice polishing ratio is 22%, and there are special versions such as zaru-harvesting and mid-harvesting, but this time it's the normal version 🤗.
The aroma is more intense than other TYPEs we've had so far, and it makes you want to drink it even before you start.
The taste is more berry than grape, more strawberry than strawberry.
This is the end of my review of ALPHA, but how many months has it already been 💦?
There's still some left to go...
I'll try to mix in some timely reviews from time to time...
Let's keep it nonchalant 😘.

I just realized it's July. ‼️
I've been working 6 days in a row for 2 weeks in a row and I'm exhausted on Sunday 😂.
Finally, the mid-year sales and clearance delivery is coming to an end, so I'm a little bit relaxed today 🥹.
Let's list some of the things that have been piling up 🤗
Two more ALPHA series left...
First of all, a tribute to TYPE6 No. 6 😊.
Speaking of No.6 yeast, Shinsei ‼️
In fact, the only Shinsei I've ever had, including outings, is the Flaxcat I drank and posted about at a year-end party the other night.
So I honestly don't know the characteristics of No. 6 😆.
Well, is it more acidic than other sake using No.7? The sourness comes to the fore 😋.
That's about all I can clearly feel: 😮💨
I still have a stupid tongue, but I know it's delicious 🤣.
I drank it all up in one day 😜‼️😜

Hoshizumi Kyokai 8 yeast, light nigori
Purchased at Noboru Sake Shop at the Nara Off-line meeting

Kaze no Mori ALPHA series drinking comparison
It's been a while since my last post, but it's still going on a bit... 😆
This time we have TYPE 5, subtitled "The Quest for Heated Sake".
The label says "ver.7" which means it's been 7 years since the last one.
I can't wait to try it and see how much it has evolved 😋.
First, take it out of the fridge and open the bottle: ‼️
It is champagne gold with some color and the aroma is not that strong.
A little sweetish caramelized aroma 😊.
Even though it's designed to be heated, it's still very fresh and I can't tell any difference from other Kaze no Mori.
It's delicious and satisfying enough to drink cold or chilled as it is 😋.
But the recommended temperature is 30-35 degrees Celsius, so warm it up to that level.
The color of the thermo seal has changed 🤩.
Here's a sip!
I see ‼️ the quality of the aroma has changed 🤔.
The aroma has changed from sweetness to a mild yet refreshing aroma of delicious heated sake😍.
The mouthfeel is soft and full with a refreshing flavor that is different from the cold one.
I think it tastes best at 45 degrees Celsius 🤗.

Next is ALPHA8
This sake is brewed with 100% brown rice, a brewing method I have never seen or heard of before.
Well, I'm sure there are other breweries that make it...
The taste... as it says on the back label, it's similar to the way beer is brewed, so it definitely has an amber color and a slightly savory, barley-like flavor 😋.
But it still has a slight freshness that is typical of Kaze no Mori 😏.

Second in the ALPHA series from last time 😋.
This sake was brewed with the intention of exporting to overseas. I've been slacking on posting as usual... 😅This is the second bottle of the ALPHA series from last time.
But when you drink it, it doesn't feel fire-brewed at all, it still has a freshness to it. ‼️
Once again, I realized the high potential of this sake brewery.

This is the second bottle of Hoshisen I bought in Nara!
Slightly effervescent, rich sweetness like lychee.

It also has a burnt candy-like taste.

I drank a bottle of the 607 resurrection wine from Kaze no Mori at the end of February. I was thinking that I have never drank all the ALPHA series 🤔.
I decided to run to Tenri and buy as much ALPHA as I could 😊.
Due to the stock and my pocketbook, I was only able to buy the 4.7.
I didn't go all out, but the 4 was a bit too expensive and the 7 was too limited and not in stock😅.
By the way, each version is a regular brew.
I didn't buy any of the later versions, so I think I have a total of 6 bottles ❓
I'll list the reviews in order: ✌️
Let's start with TYPE1.
The ALPHA series has switched to all Bodai yeast, which is the biggest difference from the regular series.
The difference in brewing method is probably the most important factor in the difference in flavor!
Overall, I felt that the hard and tangy sensation that is unique to Kaze no Mori was weaker.
The overall impression was less of that hard, tangy feeling that is characteristic of Kaze no Mori.
It's a little short for those who like the traditional version, but it still retains the Kaze no Mori style 😊.

Sake limited to 6 stores nationwide. Purchased from Noboru Sake Shop in Tenri.
After ordering from takeshon Sake Shop, I always wanted to go there to buy it. This is the only store in the Kansai region that specializes in Hoshisen.
They have an overwhelming selection of famous Nara sake.
There are many brands other than Nara that are not available in Kansai, such as Kenshin, Tenka Nishiki, Librom, Shikishima, and Hoshizumi.
This time, I only went to Hoshizumi because there were other sake shops I wanted to visit.
It has a flavor like Kyoho grapes and a slightly milky taste. It is more refreshing than the Hiragana series, but sweet and delicious. The lingering sweetness of the 🍇 flavor is long.
The No. 5 yeast is said to have originated from Kamotsuru.
I wonder if Hoshiizumi is a segregated series that uses Hiragana two-digit yeast and Kanji yeast, which is no longer used in modern times.
Japanese>English

I have a pile of unposted... 😓
I'm going to open a lot of bottles at the start of the GW 😁.
This is the 25th anniversary sake of Kaze no Mori ㊗️
For the concept, please see the label in the 4th photo: 🙇♂️
The taste is a bit more subdued than the previous sakes in the lineup in terms of the umami and fruity flavors of the base.
It has a strong alcohol taste for its 14% alcohol content 🤔.
I like the tingling sensation that is unique to Kaze no Mori, but it's a bit lacking for me...
But I'm the type of person who likes challenging sake like this anniversary sake 😆.
I hope they continue to make various kinds of sake 😋.
Postscript 5/7
I opened it for 4 days and drank it again 😋.
I don't know if this is the power of microorganisms or not ‼️
I don't know... The tingling sensation is gone as a matter of course, but the lactic acid taste is getting stronger instead.
Sake is alive after all 😁.
It's becoming my favorite flavor!
Delicious 😋.

I bought this a while ago, but it's been a while since I've had it 😊.
It's called "Challenge Edition" and is a test brew of a previously brewed junmai standard version of the Omachi sake 😁.

I'm an omatist so I'll definitely buy it 😆.
It has a pleasant sweetness that comes after a slight sourness while retaining the hard mouthfeel that is typical of Kaze no Mori 😋.
I love their sake too 🥰.
I'm looking forward to receiving a lot of ALPHA series at the end of the month 🤣.

Tokujun unfiltered unpasteurized sake made with Aizan 😊and directly pumped 😋.

The alcohol content is high at 20% because it is not watered down.
It has the same punch as Kaze no Mori and Daichi no Chikara, and the delicious taste of rice spreads across the tongue as soon as you drink it.

After the first half of the New Year's drinking party, we moved to my parents' house.
My mother, who raised me to be a great drinker, my sister and her husband, who raised me as well as I did, are waiting for me here 😆.
The first toast is this one, which was released late last year ‼️.
This is one of the long aged sake that Koueikiku has been secretly working on since they revived and started brewing 3 years ago.
Here is the message from the brewer
Aged for several months in "Amontillado" sherry casks, which are characterized by their hazelnut-like aroma, before bottling. It was then aged in ice temperature for another two years.
The sake used was brewed exclusively with Omachi to increase its sweetness.
The company said.
Sake aged in sherry casks? 😵.
And aged in ice temperature for 2 years? 😵.
I don't get it anymore... what kind of taste is that...
So I opened the bottle with 2 cheers and 1 bow....
This is... a noble rot wine 🤔.
It has a rounded and slightly thickened mouthfeel. Soft taste.
The sweetness in the mouth is soft. The nose is full of fresh sherry and oak aroma.
It is 12 degrees Celsius, so it is very quickly and easily 😱.
It was delicious 😋.

Junmai Daiginjo Shiboritate️ made with Omachi
This sake is brewed after a year of aging and storage.
It is said that this is the farmer's strong wish.
The farmer wants to make sure that the rice itself is matured before brewing.
This is a unique process that I have not heard of before.
Not only the brewer but also the rice farmer who provides the rice is very particular about making the best national sake.
The aroma is refreshing, with a ginjo aroma of muscat and rumminess.
And the mouthfeel is fresh and fresh 😊.

Following Tamagawa is Etsukaijin from Maruo Honten, a famous brewery in Sanuki.
I love this stuff so much😁.
I think this was one of the top brands during the sake boom about 20 years ago, wasn't it?
It still has the same thick body and rich flavor, but when heated, it becomes smooth and goes well with meals, especially nabemono.

For the second time in my life, I'm drinking sake from my birth year!
It's an aged sake, but it's the same sake that we drank before, but before it was put into the cedar barrel (second photo).
It's light and refreshing, and the added water makes the sake less concentrated and rejuvenates the overall moisture content, so the aged feeling is milder.
I wish I could.
(Right.
The image of the sake from the same place is round!
There are no corners, and it has a slight mirin-like taste.
It's not sweet, it's light, and it's not too aged.
