Product details
Crafted by the Fuji Brewery in the historic town of Izumo, Joto Yuzu Sake is a harmonious blend of premium sake and fresh yuzu juice from locally grown yuzu fruit. Founded in 1939, Fuji Brewery is now managed by the third generation of the Imaoka family, continuing a proud legacy of Japanese brewing tradition. Yuzu, a prized Japanese citrus, offers a complex balance of sweet and tart flavors reminiscent of mandarin orange, Meyer lemon, and Key lime. This meticulous blend showcases the brewery’s commitment to honoring local ingredients while creating unique and approachable sake expressions.
On the palate, Joto Yuzu Sake delivers a pronounced tartness layered with bright notes of Meyer lemon and mandarin orange, leading to a refreshing finish where sweetness and acidity intertwine. Best enjoyed on the rocks with a splash of soda, it also mixes beautifully into vibrant cocktails. Its citrus-forward profile pairs well with fresh seafood, light salads, or citrus-glazed poultry, making it a versatile choice for both casual sipping and creative mixology.
