Hakutsuru Juicy Yuzu Liqueur

Produced by Hakutsuru Shuzo in Nada, Hyogo Prefecture — one of Japan's most storied sake breweries — Juicy Yuzu takes a sake-based liqueur and brightens it with 100% Japanese yuzu, with no artificial flavor or color added. The nose bursts with the fragrant citrus aroma of freshly peeled yuzu, layered with subtle floral notes and a hint of sweetness. On the palate, tangy citrus meets honeyed fruitiness, with a complex bitterness and richness that keeps it from tipping into simple sweetness, before finishing smooth and mellow with just the right lingering tartness. It's a versatile bottle — delicious over ice, mixed with soda water for a quick highball-style spritz, or used as a bright citrus component in cocktails.

ABOUT THE BREWERY
Hakutsuru is based in Nada, one of Japan's most historically significant sake-producing regions, prized for centuries for its mineral-rich water. That same sake-brewing expertise underpins Juicy Yuzu, which builds its citrus character on a base of traditional fermentation rather than neutral spirit — giving it a rounder, more rice-driven sweetness than many distilled yuzu liqueurs.
