Yucho Kaze No Mori Sake
Produced in Nara Prefecture by Yucho Shuzo, this Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu style—embodied in expressions like “Wind of the Woods”—showcases the brewery’s fresh, lively, and unfiltered approach. Crafted using locally grown Akitsuho rice (typically polished between 60–65%) and Kyokai #7 yeast, fermented with mineral-rich hard water, the Kaze no Mori line emphasizes immediacy and brightness, offering sake that’s alive on the palate
On the nose, expect a combination of floral and herbal notes blending with soft tones of melon, apple, and green fruit. The palate is enlivened by a natural gentle effervescence, rolling through flavors like fresh green apple, juicy berries, pear, and melon, pulled together by a clean, lively, and slightly dry finish.
