Shibata Black Junmai Yuzu Sake

Description

The yuzu fruit used is from Shibata’s local farm and is all organic. Shibata Black Yuzu is made with a junmai saké base using Ginpu rice from Hokkaido, which is clear and crisp thanks to the short growing season. The yuzu is squeezed with the skin left on so that the powerful aromatic oils in the skin are integrated into the sake and the light bitterness of the pith helps balance out the saké’s light sweetness. Each individual yuzu fruit yields only about 20 mL of juice. Brought to you in a unique 200-mL flask which we like to call “Pocket Saké.”
