The yuzu fruit used is from Shibatas local farm and is all organic. Shibata Black Yuzu is made with a junmai sake 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 sake’s light sweetness. Each individual yuzu fruit yields only about 20ml of juice. Brought to you in a unique 200ml flask which we like to call Pocket Sake.
