Chobei Yamamoto, President of Kaze no Mori, labels his sake with three digits. The first two digits reveal the seimaibuai (rice polishing ratio) and the third tell you the yeast type. For the Yamada Nishiki 807, this means that the rice polishing ratio is 80% meaning there's less polish for more acidity and flavor. Yeast number 7 is known result in sturdy flavors and fruity aromas. Enjoy lively notes of pineapple, tart apples, all with the signature fizz of Kaze no Mori namazakes.

Yamamoto tells us, “In our process, the sake has been fermented for more than 30 days, so the yeast makes a good aroma in low temperature conditions and long fermentation.” Enjoy chilled with roast chicken, smoked salmon, or fried brussell sprouts.
