HAKUSHIKA'S JAPANESE ORCHARD CITRUS YUZU
Hakushika's Japanese Orchard Citrus Yuzu was inspired by one of the Japanese kitchen's most favorite citrus varieties: the yuzu. The yuzu (most accurately known as Citrus ichangensis X Citrus reticulata) has traditionally been prized in Japan for its mildly citric taste and incomparably fresh aroma. Hakushika's Citrus Yuzu is an exciting new type of natural flavor-infused sake and contains no added sulphites or gluten. Imported from Nishinomiya, Japan.
