Yuzu Sake is a distinctive and refreshing sake infused with yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit known for its acidity and subtle bitterness. Its light yellow hue and pale color complement the lemony aroma with a hint of bitterness. On the palate, it offers a delicate and elegant experience, featuring notes of yellow fruits and white flesh, finishing with a refreshing citrus touch. The tonic mouthfeel and lemony finish make it an ideal pairing for traditional aperitif dishes. This sake’s delicate aromas beautifully enhance oysters with a dash of lemon, fresh goat cheese, fermented foods, and white fish served raw or in ceviche. Made with Camargue rice, water, koji rice, yuzu, mint, lemon, and verbena, Yuzu Sake is an invigorating choice for any occasion.
