Hand picked freshly harvest Japanese Yuzu, high quality rice distillate and pure mountain water are the essence of this special new liqueur. Every piece of fruit is cut and squeezed by hand. The fruit is never subjected to mechanical processing before being steeped -fruit, juice and peel- in spirit for at least 30 days. It is lightly sweetened with locally produced beet sugar. Yuzu's legendary complexity has made it a staple of Japanese cuisine, but its freshness is key to its complexity and Yuzu season passes very quickly. Here Yuzuri captures the freshness and purity of the ripe, hand-picked fruit for use year round.
