The Japanese Liqueur - Yuzukosho - 500 ml
The Japanese Liqueur - Yuzukosho is a groundbreaking "savory liqueur" that translates the iconic Japanese condiment yuzukosho into a liquid spirit. It is produced by The Japanese Bitters Company (often branded simply as The Japanese Liqueur), founded by renowned bartender Yuki Yamazaki. Based in Chiba, Japan, Yamazaki uses a combination of traditional maceration and modern sous-vide vacuum extraction to capture the hyper-authentic essence of Japanese botanicals. This expression specifically utilizes premium Kito Yuzu from Tokushima Prefecture, celebrated for its intense fragrance and high oil content.
Spirit Description
This liqueur is clear to pale yellow and offers a sensory experience that shifts from bright citrus to sharp heat. The nose is dominated by the zesty, floral aroma of fresh Kito Yuzu peel, with an underlying vegetal note of green chili. On the palate, the initial impression is the tart, refreshing acidity of yuzu, which is quickly followed by the distinct, creeping spiciness of Japanese green chili peppers. The mouthfeel is surprisingly viscous and bold due to the higher alcohol content, while the finish is long, clean, and invigoratingly spicy. It is bottled at 25% ABV (though some batches vary between 23% and 25%).
