Product details
Joto Yuzu is a bright and expressive creation from Izumo, a historic town known for its deep connection to tradition and local agriculture. Crafted by the Fuji family, whose operation dates back to 1939 and is now led by the third generation of the Imaoka family, this release highlights the natural character of locally grown yuzu. The prized Japanese citrus is carefully blended to showcase its vibrant personality, celebrated for flavors that echo mandarin orange, Meyer lemon, and key lime. The result is a beautifully balanced profile that brings together natural sweetness and lively acidity, offering a refreshing and contemporary expression rooted in place and heritage.
On the palate, it opens with a pronounced, mouthwatering tartness that immediately feels fresh and invigorating. Bright notes of Meyer lemon and mandarin orange take center stage, followed by a harmonious interplay of tangy and gently sweet elements toward the finish. The overall impression is crisp, lively, and pleasantly juicy, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste. Enjoyed chilled, over ice, or with a splash of soda, it delivers an uplifting citrus-driven experience that feels light, vibrant, and effortlessly enjoyable.
