KOCHI YUZUSHU 500ML (12,5% VOL)

Yuzushu is a mix of alcohol and yuzu juice. The yuzu fruits are cultivated in the Kochi prefecture. Once the juice is extracted, it is immediately frozen in order to keep its freshness and flavor. Salt, usually used for preservation is not added here. As soon as the juice is defrosted, the yuzushu is made. It is then pasteurized. Instead of using sake, our producer made the choice to use alcohol. It prevents the evolution of the yuzushu taste and a better preservation. Indeed, sake continues to matured with time and it changes the yuzushu flavor. Nevertheless, the yuzushu is light, with an alcohol volume close to wine. The yuzu fruit bitterness is balanced with a little bit of sugar. A surface sediment full of flavor as been kept in the bottle
