Hououbiden Yuzushu 1.8 L
$138.99
Fresh yuzu opens with vivid lemon, mandarin and grapefruit tones, followed by the fragrant bitterness of the peel. The palate is concentrated yet refreshing, bringing sweet citrus pulp into balance with a clean sake-derived base. A gentle savoury edge keeps the fruit from feeling heavy. The finish is bright, lightly bitter and persistent. Serve chilled, over ice or lengthened with soda alongside spicy dishes or citrus-led desserts.

About Kobayashi Shuzo
Kobayashi Shuzo, the brewery behind Hououbiden sake, was founded in 1872 in Oyama, Tochigi. It stands among rice fields on the northern Kanto Plain and draws underground water from the Nikko mountain range. Fifth-generation Masaki Kobayashi leads the brewery with his wife Mayumi, whose technical brewing training helped guide its move towards ginjo sake.
Hououbiden’s ginjo sake is brewed slowly at low temperatures. Rice is steamed over direct heat, koji is made by hand, and selected lots may be pressed by gravity from hanging bags or slowly through stacked cloth.
