Akashi-Tai Yuzushu is a refined Japanese citrus liqueur that beautifully blends premium Ginjo sake with fresh yuzu fruit sourced from the Hyogo prefecture. Crafted with an exceptionally high proportion of freshly pressed yuzu, this liqueur delivers a vibrant and authentic expression of one of Japan’s most prized citrus fruits.
With a gentle 10% ABV, this liqueur is light, refreshing, and incredibly versatile. The natural brightness of yuzu brings an aromatic citrus profile reminiscent of grapefruit, lemon, and mandarin, balanced by a delicate sweetness and the smooth texture of high-quality sake.
The use of Yamadanishiki rice, often referred to as the “grand cru” of sake rice, adds depth and elegance, giving this liqueur a silky mouthfeel and refined character.
Perfect as an aperitif or after-dinner drink, Akashi-Tai Yuzushu can be enjoyed chilled, over ice, or as a standout ingredient in premium cocktails. Its balance of sweetness and citrus tang makes it a truly unique addition to any drink's collection.
