Yoshida Kurau Hyakumangoku No Shiro Precious sake
100% Hyakumangoku No Shiro, produced in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 12
Kijoshu made with 100% Hyakumangoku No Shiro produced in Ishikawa
Low alcohol content (12% alcohol by volume)
The aroma has a citrusy acidity and a rich sweetness typical of kijo-zake.
Fruity, sweet and sour.
The taste is not as sweet as expected, but has a clear sweet-savory flavor.
The acidity is moderate and the aftertaste is refreshing.
Overall, it is slightly sweet but refreshing and very easy to drink.
Delicious!
It is a kijoshu, but it is a new type of light sweet sake, not a typical mellow sweet sake.
It is not a dessert sake, but rather a sake that is similar to a white wine that can be easily matched with relatively light fish and shellfish.
Today I'm going to try Yoshida Kurau, which I became a fan of after buying it as a souvenir on a previous trip to Kanazawa🎶😋😋.
Let's start with the aroma 🎶✨️It's not gorgeous, but it has a refreshing ginjo aroma 😉✨️😉.
On the palate, I first feel a slight gasiness 🫧🫧, followed by a slight sweetness and acidity 😋❔🤔😋, which I guess is the "modern Yamahai" 🎶🍶, and the low al 9% is easy to drink and very delicious.

Yoshida Kurau Kijoshu RIMIX IMAYA Hanpukai 2024
Fruity aroma with a hint of sourness.
I wonder what it is... It has a mysterious taste.
It is a low alcohol content of 11%, but it has depth and umami.
But it has depth, umami, and volume.
The lingering aftertaste is well-balanced and delicious.
This is one of the bottles from the Team Ishikawa set that was purchased at UTAGE in January. It is said to be a Yamahai Kijoshu made from sake brewed with Hyakumangoku No Shiro, a sake rice recently developed by Ishikawa Prefecture, and Kinshu, the oldest native rice. It is not too sweet, but has just the right amount of bitterness and umami. It is still my favorite sake brewery.

This is the second bottle of Yoshida Kura u in the Imadeya hanpukai.
Opened about 6 months later.
The taste seems a little darker than the last time. It is more like a noble sake and easy to drink. I personally love the unique sweetness, umami, and melon-like fruity flavor that is typical of Yoshidagurau, and it has become my second regular sake after Senkou.
I am looking forward to the next Yoshida Kurau again.
Thank you very much for your hospitality.
