Description

This vibrant yuzushu features a yellow, cloudy appearance from the use of all natural Japanese yuzu juice. The nose is aromatic and refreshing, bursting with citrus scents of lemon, white grapefruit, and mandarin orange. On the palate, it offers a well balanced profile of sweet and tart acidity with a touch of umami richness that mellows the sharp citrus qualities. The body is smooth and creamy, finishing with a pleasant kiss of peel bitterness and a lingering zesty savor. ABV 7.5%.

Food Pairing

The bright acidity and sweet citrus notes of this yuzu sake make it an ideal companion for sushi, sashimi, and spicy donburi dishes. It also pairs effectively with heavier summer fare such as octopus ceviche, Kalua pork, or spicy dry rub barbecue, where the citrus acts as a natural flavour enhancer. For a unique treat, serve it chilled or on the rocks alongside fresh fruit salads or drizzle it over vanilla ice cream and fruit tarts.
