KAZE NO MORI WEEK 2024 風の森 WEEKS 2024山田錦507 720ml

Brewed by Yucho Shuzo (油長酒造) in Nara Prefecture, Kaze no Mori “Weeks 2024” (風の森 WEEKS 2024 山田錦507) is a limited-edition release from one of Japan’s most dynamic sake producers. Known for their expressive nama genshu (unpasteurised, undiluted) sakes, Kaze no Mori captures the raw vitality of fermentation and the purity of local water from the sacred Mt. Katsuragi.

Made with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 50%, this sake is bottled unfiltered and unpasteurised to preserve its natural carbonation and freshly pressed brightness. Expect a lively aroma of melon, green apple, and rice blossom, followed by a smooth, juicy palate with elegant acidity and a subtly sparkling texture. It’s crisp, modern, and full of energy — a true sensory experience that defines the Kaze no Mori style.
