Kura no Hana (Sake)
Filter
Kura no hana is a relatively new strain of rice that produces light and rounded sakes. Translating to Flower of the Brewery or fair maiden, Kura no hana began development over 20 years ago. Just as wine producers work to grow new varieties of grapes, brewers in Japan strive to develop new strains of rice. The results were a brewing rice that produces an elegant sake with an aroma that complements food. Kura no hana is an almost transparently light sake that produces natural sweetness. The delicious aroma features a faint touch of anise making it a wonderful companion to light seafood dishes and salads. With that being said, it is also a wonderful stand-alone sake. Hoyo Kura or No Hana Flower of the Brewery and Junmai Daiginjo Sake is a complex brew with a licorice perfume featuring notes of sweet caramel and earthy mushroom. The high aroma profile is delicate and light with a full floral aroma and flavor. Debuting in 2000, about 55% of the Kura no hana rice is polished away. This delicious sake pours with a clear golden body with strong legs. Flavors of lychee, koji, and peach are accompanied by rosewater aromas.

Pulled from a Gentleman's cellar, all wines from this cellar have been purchased by the owner either from the importer or direct from winery. They stayed in his cellar until being moved to the Timeless Wines warehouse.
Manoir du Carra Beaujolais Cru Fleurie Vers le Mont is made from 100 percent Gamay.
Intense red color, subtle fruity and floral aromas of violet, berry and cinnamon. It also has a distinctive aroma of Peony and Lily flowers, typical of the "Sur le Mont" terroir. Ample in the mouth with plenty of ripe red and black fruit flavors. The structure is full and the tannins are round and elegant. Even better after a few years of cellaring.
Of the top ten Cru sites of Beaujolais, Fleurie is one of the top three. The wines show finesse, fullness, and flavor. Fleurie does age well for 3-5 years from vintage. The area was named for a Romain General named Floricum, not for the word flower in French. The size of this AOC is 875 hectares of grapes (2,161 acres) and about 180 examples of this Cru are available on the market. This Cru is known as the “Queen of Beaujolais” and the earth is slightly unusual for having blue color, due to magnesium in the soil.
