CHOYA Yuzu Liqueur is a premium Japanese citrus liqueur crafted by CHOYA UMESHU CO., LTD., a company renowned for its dedication to producing high-quality ume-based beverages since 1959. This exquisite liqueur is a harmonious blend of CHOYA's traditional Umeshu—a sweet plum wine—and the vibrant essence of yuzu, a citrus fruit native to East Asia. The yuzu used in this liqueur is meticulously sourced from Shikoku Island, Japan, ensuring an authentic and refreshing citrus profile. With an alcohol content of 23% and presented in a sleek 700ml bottle, CHOYA Yuzu Liqueur embodies the brand's commitment to quality and elegance.
On the palate, CHOYA Yuzu Liqueur offers a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness. The initial sip reveals the rich, fruity notes of Umeshu, seamlessly complemented by the bright, zesty flavors of yuzu. This combination results in a liqueur that is both invigorating and complex, with a lingering citrus finish. Its versatility makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. It pairs wonderfully with seafood delicacies such as sashimi and grilled white fish, enhancing their natural flavors. Additionally, the liqueur adds a refreshing touch to salads and dressings, and brings a vibrant twist to desserts like cheesecake and citrus-based treats. For those inclined towards mixology, CHOYA Yuzu Liqueur serves as a versatile ingredient in cocktails, enhancing classics like the Martini or creating refreshing highballs.
