Kaze No Mori "Wind of the Woods" Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu

NV Alpha Kaze No Mori Shiboribana Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu and Yucho Kaze no Mori Wind of the Woods Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu Sake are produced using traditional, non‐pasteurized methods that emphasize the expression of their terroir. Locally sourced grains are central to their production—for example, Akitsuho rice grown in Nara Prefecture is milled to 65%—and the use of mineral-rich water from 100‐meter deep wells is carefully integrated into the process. Both expressions are bottled immediately after pressing to capture the brew’s initial character and undergo natural in‐bottle secondary fermentation, a technique that creates a subtle, inherent effervescence. In certain releases, a pét-nat approach is applied to further showcase the diversity of production techniques, ensuring that the final product reflects its origin and the meticulous craftsmanship behind its creation.

Farming

65% polished ancient Akitsuho rice is locally grown and exclusively cultivated for the brewery.
 

Harvest

Ancient Akitsuho rice is milled to 65% using a gravity flow system with submerged press filtration to minimize agitation and preserve a fresh-from-the-press character.
 

Fermentation

The Sokujo process enables immediate bottling after pressing without pasteurization, allowing natural in-bottle secondary fermentation that develops inherent effervescence. The product is produced as Junmai Muroka Nama Genshu—unfiltered, unpasteurized, and undiluted.
 

Aging

Mineral-rich semi-hard water from deep wells is employed during production, maintaining the sake’s natural qualities without further modification.
