Kaze No Mori Alpha Type 3 720ml
Subtle aromas of fresh apple and peaches. A delicate and refreshing spritz with kiwi, fresh apple, mandarin with lychee on the finish. Balanced sweet and sour palate make this sake very easy to drink.
Since 2024 the Type 3 is brewed with a Bodaimoto starter giving increased umami and an x-factor missing in other sake with such refined milling. Bodaimoto is an ancient starter method where raw rice is placed in water that is rich in lactic bacteria to slowly create lactic acid. This method pre-dates kimoto and is very rarely used. The results are generally a multifaced sake with depth of flavour and complexity.
This Junmai Daiginjo is a refreshing change from the super fragrant styles that many brewers are aiming towards.
Kaze No Mori and their sub-brand Alpha are one of the most sought after amongst sake afficionados in Japan.
This sake has been pasteurised one time (not 2 times) and should be stored refrigerated to prevent spoilage.
