Tasting Notes

A lively, unpasteurized and unfiltered sake that captures the fresh, vibrant character Kaze No Mori is known for. This expression opens with floral and herbal aromatics, followed by bright, clean fruit on the palate. The natural effervescence adds lift and energy, while the texture remains smooth and focused. With a dry, refreshing finish and balanced acidity, it delivers a sense of clarity and vitality that feels both elegant and invigorating. Subtle sediment may be present, a hallmark of its minimally processed style.

Brewery Signature

• Gose townscape
• Bodaimoto heritage
• terraced rice fields

A sake worth following beyond the first fizz. Kaze no Mori can open with a gentle natural sparkle, then reveal more rice sweetness, umami and texture as the gas settles. To SAKEZEN, that unfolding character is part of its fascination.
