Score : 95 by MoIppai (15/08/2010)

This sake from Kagawa Prefecture is made with Yoimai rice (hence the name), which is polished down to 65% (the more the rice is polished the better the sake is - generally).

This has a nihonshudo of +3 so should be a little bit dry.

On the pour, the Yoimai Ayakiku sake has a slight yellow tint to it with a sweet floral nose.

It's light bodied on the palate and smooth. No alcohol taste at all really, and not much aftertaste either.

Overall just a light, fresh, very, very drinkable sake.

This is highly recommended, especially for a session sake as to be honest it goes down like water!
