KAZE NO MORI NANATSUYU 657 NAMAGENSHU 風の森 秋津穂 真中採 生酒 720ml

Brewed by Yucho Shuzo (油長酒造) in Nara Prefecture, Kaze no Mori Nanatsuyu 657 (風の森 秋津穂 真中採 生酒) represents the heart of the Kaze no Mori philosophy — pure, unpasteurised sake bottled at the peak of freshness. The number 657 denotes the 65% polishing ratio and No.7 yeast used, both defining its vibrant and textural signature.

Made with Akitsuho rice (秋津穂), a local Nara variety prized for its lively acidity and umami, this sake offers juicy aromas of green apple, melon, and pear, followed by a soft effervescence and clean, mineral finish. The Manaka-dori (真中採, “middle-press”) technique captures only the most balanced portion of the sake — smooth, aromatic, and elegantly dry.
