Today’s sake is also a dusty one. Continuing from last time, here is a drinking comparison.
Kaze no Mori Alpha 1, as I wrote in the last issue, is an easy-drinking sake with a low alcohol content. And on the other side, an unusual concept sake, “Hanabi.”
On the back side of the bottle, there are words from the current Youtube. I see that everyone is making various prototypes. Katsuragi Smoke is a fireworks manufacturer in Nara Prefecture. Their homepage shows that they have been producing fireworks in various places.

Kaze no Mori Hanabi

Collaboration with sake is the Japanese summer.
Kaze no Mori: Sake for everyone to shoot off fireworks 2022　
The event is titled “Kaze no Mori: Sake for Everyone to Launch Fireworks 2022,” and the live video distribution and drinking comparison of Kaze no Mori will be available.

It is a junmai sake, unfiltered, with a 50% milled rice ratio, which is the same as Alpha 1, but the big difference is that it has an alcohol content of 16%. The attention to carbonation is also a feature of Kaze no Mori.

The screw cap remains the same here.

It is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake with daiginjo specs and is made with Yamadanishiki.
It is very tasty, with a combination of umami and freshness.
It was the most popular sake of the day.

Taste evaluation

Much more alcoholic than Alpha 1. It’s pre-dinner and mid-dinner week. The sharpness is great. It’s more sharp than mellow. The drink is complex. The aroma is unique to ginjo. Alpha 1 was thin overall, but Hanabi is a solid sake. If you are not used to seeing sake, I would recommend Alpha. It seems to go well with fermented foods and Japanese food. The unique sweetness of Kaze no Mori may be best sipped chibi-chibi rather than a large amount at once.
