This striking blue bottle (Aotan) Yuzu fruit liqueur is produced by Yagi Sake Brewery from Nara Prefecture. This popular fruit liqueur is part of the Umeshuya Hanafuda (Japanese playing card) range and is labelled with a washi paper depiction of the June card incorporating Peony flowers and autumn leaves.
After a lot of research, the president of Yagi Sake Brewery developed this liqueur to highlight the unique and intense citrus intensity of Yuzu fruit, coupled with acidity, tartness and wonderful aromas. The Yuzu oils from the skin of fruit are also incorporated into the recipe for this drink which adds to the layers of flavour and bright sensation on the palate. This liqueur is cloudy, rich yellow in the glass with a smooth, velvety texture.
