Nakano Kunizakari Citrus Mix Osake - 300 ml
Japan, Aichi Prefecture, Handa City. This vibrant liqueur is produced by Nakano Shuzo, a historic brewery established in 1844 that is celebrated for blending traditional Edo-period craftsmanship with modern innovation. Part of the brewery's popular fruit-based "Osake" series, the Citrus Mix is designed as an approachable, easy-drinking beverage that showcases the diversity of Japan's native citrus fruits.
Description
This fruit-based sake presents a clear and bright appearance in the glass. It is crafted using a complex medley of six different Japanese citrus fruits: yuzu, sudachi, lemon, Hassaku orange, summer mandarin, and Kiyomi orange. The nose is a "burst of sunshine," dominated by the tart and zesty aromas of yuzu and summer orange. On the palate, it offers a refreshing and lively profile with flavours of white grapefruit and the sharp, green citrus notes of sudachi. It strikes a masterful balance between juicy sweetness and crisp acidity, making it taste like freshly picked fruit. ABV 7%–7.5%.
Food Pairing
The high acidity and bright citrus medley of this drink make it an excellent palate cleanser and a versatile companion for lighter fare. It pairs beautifully with fresh salads, such as a Caesar or tossed green salad, and delicate seafood dishes like poached white fish or steamed mussels. Its tartness also complements creamy dips and hard cheeses. For a more casual pairing, enjoy it chilled alongside fried snacks or as a base for a refreshing long drink mixed with soda water and a splash of gin.
