Product details
Kunizakari Wa no Kokoro Yuzu is a refined Japanese liqueur crafted by Nakano Sake Brewery, a historic producer founded in 1844 in Handa, Aichi Prefecture. The brewery's name, "Kunizakari," translates to "flourishing along with the growth of Japan," reflecting its commitment to blending tradition with innovation. This liqueur harmoniously combines the tart brightness of Japanese yuzu citrus with the smooth depth of Junmai sake, resulting in a rich and mellow flavor profile characterized by pronounced acidity.
Bottled at 7% ABV, Kunizakari Wa no Kokoro Yuzu offers versatility in enjoyment. It can be savored chilled, over ice, or mixed with soda water to highlight its citrusy notes. The liqueur's vibrant acidity and subtle sweetness make it an excellent accompaniment to fish dishes, such as white fish meunière or fried fish, enhancing the dining experience. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a meal, this liqueur embodies the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and flavor.
