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.

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.
