The traditional Japanese rice wine comes in variations that boast a wide assortment of textures and flavor profiles, but the one you should absolutely be reaching for as the weather heats up is yuzu sake. The yuzu tasted more natural, though I’d describe it more as Sake Yuzu rather than Yuzu Sake, since there was a dominant flavour of unfiltered sake followed by a bready aftertaste. This is because the brewery predates the development of many of the popular sake specific rice varieties. Very easy drinking, so serve chilled straight-up or slightly warmer with baked salmon, turbot or even lobster.

The purest Yuzu juice is mixed with a 75% polished Junmai sake base to create the cleanest and freshest of flavours.
