Tsukasabotan Yamayuzu Shibari NV
JapanCloudy with authenticity, this is a a yuzu infused sweet sake from southern Japan's Kochi's prefecture, the prime area for all things citrus in Japan. Ten percent Yuzu juice turns this sake into a sweet, imminently quaffable drink of meyer lemons and perfumed citrus. At a dangerous 8 degrees alcohol, this is far too easy to consume, but best enjoyed with soda, or in another mixed drink or cocktail. I find it far too potently sweet solo, but if you'd like it straight, do it on the rocks.Tasted: 21 March 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:US | $27.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
