Kaze no Mori Omachi 807 Ikakitori【風の森 雄町 807 笊籬採り】

The fragrance is fresh and gently sweet like muscat grapes, carrying soft, delicate tones. On the palate, you can feel Kaze no Mori’s signature fine effervescence and full-bodied umami. Rich rice flavor intertwines with mild sweetness, forming a dense and rounded mouthfeel. Subtle bitterness, astringency, and minerality add depth, giving the sake a three-dimensional quality. The aftertaste leaves behind a faint sweetness and a long, elegant finish — a perfect balance of strength and refinement.

From Nara Prefecture’s Gose City, the acclaimed brand Kaze no Mori presents the limited release Omachi 807 Ikakitori. Brewed with premium Omachi rice from Okayama polished to 80%, this sake maximizes the natural power of the grain through the innovative “Ikakitori” method, resulting in a pure and profound expression of flavor.

Ikakitori is Yucho Shuzo’s proprietary sake-pressing technique inspired by brewing manuscripts from the Muromachi to Edo periods. By immersing a finely meshed bamboo-basket-like strainer into the fermenting mash, the clear sake naturally separates from the solids with minimal pressure and oxygen exposure, preserving the sake’s purest, freshest essence.

This sake delivers Kaze no Mori’s hallmark purity and fine effervescence, while fully expressing the depth and strength of Omachi rice. Balanced by gentle acidity and layered complexity, it offers a profound, tension-filled, yet graceful tasting experience.
