Yuzu Yuzushu Yuzu Liqueur

Yuzu Yuzushu Aragoshi Yuzu Liqueur is crafted by Umenoyado Brewery in Nara, Japan — aragoshi (‘roughly pressed’) meaning the fresh whole yuzu fruit is squeezed and roughly pressed to retain the natural pulp, producing a liqueur with 21% juice content and the extremely bright, tart, and fragrant essence of the yuzu citrus at 8% ABV.

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit prized for its intensely fragrant peel and tart, complex juice that combines qualities of lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit in a uniquely Japanese citrus character. The aragoshi method — rough pressing that retains pulp and natural citrus oils rather than fine filtering — preserves the full vibrancy and texture of the fresh yuzu. Excellent served chilled, on the rocks, or mixed into cocktails. Umenoyado Brewery in Nara, established in 1893, is known for its sake and yuzu liqueur programmes.
