At a friend's house on Culture Day.
Yoshida Kura u Ishikawa-mon.
It was a natural sake, not a fusion type.
It was a low alcohol but beautiful sake with slight sweetness, rice flavor, and no miscellaneous taste.
But I don't remember much because 5 of us drank 8 bottles 😂.
haha 😎.
I am not a fan of Yamahai, but this one was delicious and did not taste like Yamahai.
It is low in alcohol and easy to drink, so it can be paired with a variety of meals.
Yoshida Grau Ishikawa Mon.
Light, slightly effervescent, just a little habitual and tasty.
The swallow on the label is a symbol of happiness that returns every year to the entrance of the brewery.
The "u" is a combination of the word "you" and the word "gentle".
The brand "Yoshidagura u" is a series launched in 2021. Modern Yamahai and Terroir.
For the record
I would like to say that I bought these two bottles at the recommendation of the owner of my favorite liquor store.
I had never had Yoshida Kura before, but I was told that they had arrived at this modern Yamahai low-alcohol sake in their quest to make sake that is as good as wine.
The first sip after opening the package. It is water.
Second sip. It is still water that is easy to drink. When served with the sauce, it is even more tasteless and odorless.
What's wrong with this? If I say it's not enough, that's all I can say, but I've never had a sake that doesn't interfere with food so much.
Five days after opening the bottle, the sake rice character came out, but it was still water when drunk with food! (LOL)
This comment is the limit for my stupid tongue👅. But I am sure it will go well with any entrée. I would like to try the rest with sweets.
I told the waitress what I liked and she recommended it to me.
She said she thought this was probably her favorite. It was exactly what I was looking for.
It is a little gassy.
At first, I thought it was a little peculiar, but the more I drank, the more attractive it became. But the more I drank, the more attractive it became.
Even if you compare it with the other drinks, you will always want to go back to this one.

Saijo Sake Festival 2025🍶.
Sake Hiroba ⛲️
It's getting dark.
It's almost the end of the first day of the Saijo Sake Festival.
Yoshida Kurau goes well with such a chic time...I decided on my own 😆.
Sweet and tasty and slightly carbonated 🫧.
The deep astringent taste is also very nice 😏.
It was such a sake 🤗
Tonight's accompaniment is a bottle of this one.
The rice is Hyakumangoku No Shiro. It's been a while. When the bottle is opened, there is a surprising sound. The aroma is modest and fruity. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a strong shwash followed by a firm acidity. It is like a carbonated fruit juice. Perfect for summer! (It's already autumn.) When drunk in a champagne glass, the acidity softens and the sweetness comes out. Delicious! When paired with okra seasoned with sugarcane vinegar, it becomes sweet and shwashy, yummy! It also goes well with silver Spanish mackerel marinated in sake lees. It was like a low-alcohol sparkling wine!
