Shibata Junmai Yuzushu "Black Yuzu" Flask

This yuzushu is made with a junmai sake base brewed from Ginpu rice, a Hokkaido variety valued for its clean, crisp character due to the region's short growing season. Organically grown yuzu is squeezed with the skin left on, so aromatic citrus oils and a light bitterness from the pith come through alongside the fruit's tartness. The result balances bright citrus flavor against the sake's inherent light sweetness.
