Yoshida Kurau -Kinchaku- [Yoshida Sake Brewery, Ishikawa, Japan
Thick acidity and sweetness to slightly pear-like. Fine gasiness and lingering bitterness. I like it a lot.
Ingredients: rice (Ishikawa), rice malt (Ishikawa rice)
Rice used for making:100% Kinshu
Rice Polishing Ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 12% (undiluted)
Both have a good mouthfeel. They are truly modern Yamahai. It is light for a Yamahai and very easy to drink. The pink one has a fruity sweetness. The green one has more umami, acidity, and sweetness from the beginning. The label is also stylish. They are similar in style, but they are different when compared. It is difficult to say which is better.
Kinchaku?
and it caught my eye and I bought it.
The oldest ancestor of Koshihikari rice is called "Kinchaku"!
Low alcohol and mineral taste like Yoshida Kurau, and easy to drink!
A little sweet
Serve with grilled chicken 🍶.
The aroma when you open the bottle is like wine.
Then soft and mellow sweetness, like banana.
As the description says, there is a sense of minerality.
It has a low alcohol content, but the umami, bitterness, and acidity are well balanced and very satisfying.
A four-pack bottle was used up in one day.
The sake rice called kinmu is the oldest ancestor of Koshihikari 🌾.
The aroma is like a lactobacillus drink.
When you drink it, it is chili, and contrary to what you might expect from the aroma, it has a savory, grain-like flavor and a refreshing acidity.
It ends with a slight bitterness and disappears quickly. It's amazing...there is almost no aftertaste.
The next day, it is even more crisp.
A freshness like lemon or herbs comes in a flash, then the sourness and bitterness pass by and disappear...just like that.
It's strange, but it's delicious! I just can't stop drinking it.
Yoshida Kurau makes a lot of different types of Ishikawa rice, but overall it is light and refreshing, so it is easy to try. And it is usually delicious.
I opened this on Sept. 9th, so it reminded me of Erle No.13. Wow, I miss it ♬⛵️🏴☠️
Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
I didn't know that the drawstring is rice 😳.
I'm maxed out on drinking it after reading your review: ❣️ I need to clear some space in my fridge 😆.
Good evening, Kotaro-san. When you look at kinchaku from a distance, it has hair like Japanese millet or wheat. Mr. Yoshida, the kinchaku is a classic. It is really delicious, isn't it?
Good evening, Hiro-san 🌙
It's a rice named 🌾! I'm curious 🥳I've been drinking last year's now, but it looks like this year's just came out the other day, so please make room and welcome me ♬♬✨
Good evening, Mr. WOM 🌙
Ew! I see 🌾✨WOM-san, as expected, you know a lot about rice in Ishikawa 😆 I thought the label was different on this year's ver of Kinpu that started coming out the other day 🙌 I'm so glad it's delicious and I want to drink it again 🥳.
Limited edition sake for Inomoto Sake Shop's 50th anniversary hanpukai.
It is made from "kinpaku", a native rice produced in Ishikawa Prefecture.
It comes shuwa shuwa on the tip of the tongue.
It has a wild and chirpy taste.
Complex and deep flavor.
Sourness and graininess spread to the palate.
Strong and unique bitterness.
The flavor is also unique, but it fades away as soon as you think so.
Refreshing aftertaste.
