Kaze no Mori Tsuyuhakaze 807 Zarumidori【風の森 露葉風 807 笊籬採り】

The aroma bursts vividly, reminiscent of juicy, honeyed apples—lush, expressive, and expansive. On the palate, it carries Kaze no Mori’s signature effervescence, delivering a fresh mouthfeel before gentle yet concentrated sweetness gradually spreads. Sparkling acidity intertwines, evoking bright pineapple-like fruit notes. Amid the rich aromatics, subtle bitterness derived from the lower polishing ratio adds depth and complexity. Thanks to the Zarumidori method, it shows greater dimensionality and more vivid expression than the standard Tsuyuhakaze 807, finishing with a soft, lingering aftertaste. A superbly crafted sake with outstanding completeness.

From the renowned Nara-based brewery Kaze no Mori comes this irregularly released limited edition, Tsuyuhakaze 807 Zarumidori. It uses the sake rice “Tsuyuhakaze,” contract-grown by the agricultural cooperative “Hotaru no Sato” in Mitsue Village, Nara Prefecture, polished to 80%, and drawn using the special Zarumidori technique. Zarumidori is an innovative sake-drawing method developed by Yucho Shuzo, inspired by documents from the Muromachi to Edo periods. A finely meshed basket-like sieve is submerged into the fermenting mash, allowing sake to separate naturally from the moromi with virtually no pressure and minimal oxygen exposure. This groundbreaking technique captures the pure essence of freshly born sake. Its flamboyant expression is rare, and with extremely limited production, it is all the more precious.
