Kiyokos Yuzu

In Kansai on the island of Honshū, Kiyoko, a yuzu-infused sake aperitif, has been made for over 100 years. The yuzu fruit grows in the mountainous, sun-drenched south of Japan, where wide temperature swings give the fruit its unique intensity. Each yuzu is hand-picked and pressed immediately, while the house's toji, or brewmaster, ensures the perfect balance between fruit and sake.

About Kiyoko's

Kiyokos Yuzu is a Japanese citrus liqueur based on sake, made in Kansai for over 100 years. For newcomers it's a fresh, accessible introduction to Japanese yuzu flavour; for connoisseurs, the artisanal process - hand-picked yuzu and a toji fine-tuning the balance between fruit and Junmai sake - is what makes Kiyoko special in a category full of industrial alternatives.

History & Background

Yuzu has been grown in Japan for over a thousand years and is traditionally used both in cooking and as a fragrance plant, but has only in recent decades truly become a sought-after ingredient in Western cocktails. Kiyoko's is one of the liqueurs created specifically to capture the fruit's intense, floral citrus aroma in liquid form.

Production & Style

The liqueur is made by extracting yuzu peel and juice and blending them with a neutral spirit base and sugar, preserving the fresh, aromatic scent.

Signature Style

Citrusy, Floral, Fresh
Expect an intense, citrusy profile of mandarin, lime, and a floral, lightly bitter finish.
