SP13 Kanade Yuzu Liqueur

Part of Suntory's Kanáde craft liqueur collection, Yuzu Liqueur is crafted to showcase the full spectrum of Japan's prized yuzu citrus — pulp, peel, and juice all working together rather than a single extracted note. The liqueur opens with a bright burst of yuzu zest, subtle bitterness, and floral citrus oil, moves into a juicy, tart palate with gentle sweetness and faint herbal undertones, and finishes clean and zesty with a lingering citrus trail. Made using pure yuzu juice blended with several types of spirit base, then infusing and distilling both the pulp and peel, the result is a liqueur that captures yuzu's signature push-and-pull of bittersweet brightness rather than a one-note citrus profile.

ABOUT THE NAME
Kanáde (奏) translates roughly to "to play music," reflecting the collection's philosophy of harmonizing flavors — where each ingredient contributes to a balanced, expressive whole. Yuzu itself holds deep roots in Japanese cuisine and tradition, prized for centuries as both a seasoning and, during the winter solstice, a fragrant addition to hot baths believed to ward off illness.
