Product details
Kaze No Mori Akitsuho 507 is a vibrant Japanese rice beverage from Kaze no Mori, crafted by the historic house Yucho Shuzo in Nara Prefecture. Known for its innovative approach while honoring regional tradition, the producer focuses on showcasing the natural character of locally grown rice and pristine water. This expression is made entirely from Akitsuho rice cultivated through local contract farming, reflecting a strong connection to its agricultural origins. The “507” designation refers to the careful rice polishing ratio used to highlight clarity and structure. Unfiltered and left in its naturally lively state, the beverage retains fine sediment and gentle natural effervescence, offering a remarkably fresh and dynamic profile that captures the energy and purity suggested by the name “Wind of the Woods.”
On the nose, Kaze No Mori Akitsuho 507 opens with delicate floral notes accompanied by a refreshing aroma reminiscent of ripe pear. The palate is bright and expressive, delivering clean fruit tones with lively freshness and a silky texture supported by subtle natural bubbles. Layers of flavor unfold with balance and precision, creating a refined yet invigorating character that feels both elegant and modern. The finish is smooth and dry, leaving a crisp, polished impression that encourages another sip. Its versatile and food-friendly profile pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, from sushi and grilled meats to pizza, Korean barbecue, or even sweet treats like churros.
