Yatagarasu Yoshino Monogatari La France (720 ml)

YATAGARASU Yoshino Monogatari La France is part of the “Yoshino Monogatari” fruit liqueur series produced by Kitamura Shuzo (北村酒造) in Nara Prefecture, Japan. The name “Yoshino Monogatari” translates to “Stories of Yoshino,” referencing the historic Yoshino region known for its natural beauty and long sake-brewing heritage.

This liqueur is crafted using La France pears, a highly prized European pear variety widely cultivated in Japan, especially valued for its fragrant aroma, creamy sweetness, and delicate floral character.

The fruit is blended with a base of Japanese sake, allowing the fresh pear character to integrate with the smooth texture and subtle rice sweetness of sake. This method creates a fruit liqueur that is lighter and more elegant compared with many spirit-based fruit liqueurs.

The result is a drink that expresses the natural sweetness and fragrance of ripe pear, balanced by the gentle structure of premium sake.
