Japanese Citrus Liqueur
Refreshing and delicious! Luscious yuzu aroma, scintillatingly sweet with a brisk citrus uplift. Made with fresh-pressed yuzu from Ehime Prefecture and alcohol distilled using sake lees from Masumi’s brewery in the southern Japanese Alps.
Miyasaka Brewing Company
Nagano Prefecture
Masumi is one of the great names of the sake world, admired throughout Japan for its unshakable down-to-earth reliability. The brewery where it is made was founded in 1662 in the town of Suwa, where a tradition of precision craftsmanship had led to the development of the silk spinning trade. Masumi achieved great prominence in 1946 with the discovery of a new yeast variety, “Nanago” or Association No. 7. With its gentle aroma and ease of use Nanago continues to be used by over half of the breweries in Japan.

Serving recommendations
Delightful as an aperitif or at the end of a meal. Complements greens with citrus dressings, seafood carpaccio and rich dishes like Hainan chicken rice that benefit from the sharpening effects of yuzu acidity. Great with creamy desserts, especially those that use chocolate.
