ILE FOUR YUZU CITRUS SAKE

The Yuzu citrus fruit has been growing in Japan for more than 1.000 years. Because of its dry pulp and many large seeds the juice can only be extracted in a complicated – i.e., expensive – process from pulp and rind. Fortunately, just a few drops are already enough for a unique and intense flavor. While looking similar to the Pomelo, Yuzu has a unique and complex aroma – Fresh citrus scent and the absence of the astringent acid of the Lemon combine into an inimitable combination of sweet, bitter, salty and sour.German Trendscout Ralf Bos has dubbed Yuzu an “emotional food” that creates “goose bumps” and a “warm shiver” on your skin! In combination with mild Premium Sake, Yuzu turns into a uniquely refreshing Aperitif: Just pour Île Four Yuzu Sake over lots of crushed ice in a tumbler for a ‘Yuzu Crush’, or add some Champagne for extra fizz! ‘
