Bottled by the historic Nihonsakari Brewery (founded 1889) in Hyōgo’s Nada region, Sakari Yuzu is a junmai‑based yuzushu made from Kagoshima yuzu—whole fruit (flesh, peel, seeds) meets a 75% polished junmai sake. Bright acidity, nuanced bitterness, and delicate umami swirl together into a refreshing citrus liqueur that feels like sunshine in a glass. Gluten‑free, vegetarian, preservative‑free—perfect for savvy shoppers seeking quality and flavor.

HOW TO ENJOY
PAIRING
This lively yuzu sake harmonizes beautifully with fresh and lightly seasoned dishes. Think chilled sashimi with ponzu, peppery arugula salad, steamed fish drizzled with soy‑yuzu sauce, citrus‑glazed chicken, or even pound cake and fruit plates. Its sweet‑sour balance bridges savory and dessert effortlessly.
SERVING
Best enjoyed well chilled (~5–8 °C / 41–46 °F) in a small wine or sake glass. Serve straight, over ice, or as a component in a crisp yuzu‑cocktail. Keeps its zesty freshness to the last sip.
