Kinmon Ryogoku Kesennuma Yuzu Sake

Kinmon Ryogoku Kesennuma Yuzu sake is produced by Kakuboshi in Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture. During production, the juice of local yuzu fruits is mixed with the brewery's Tokubetsu Honjozo Sake "Bekkaku", which is also available "pure" in our range. The result is a fresh and complex yuzu sake that impresses from the very first sip.

The yuzu is an Asian citrus fruit that most likely found its way to Japan via China. It looks like a lemon, but is much larger, as it can reach the size of an orange. However, the yuzu produces much less juice than the lemon. The flesh is sour and aromatic, slightly bitter and juicy.

In Kinmon Yuzushu, the tart and bittersweet taste of yuzu is very evident. The spicy aromas provide an invigorating freshness. Pure and well chilled, this yuzu sake is a great aperitif. It can also be mixed with soda or used as an ingredient in cocktails. The brewery also recommends enjoying the yuzushu warm in winter (extended with warm water, "oyuwari").

Once opened, keep in the fridge and consume within 7 days!

Kakuboshi was founded in 1908 in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture. Several strokes of fate hit the brewery extremely hard: after a major fire in 1929, the buildings were completely destroyed. The following year, the family rebuilt the company headquarters on the same site. Since 2003, Sake Kura has been considered a registered material cultural asset of Japan. In the devastating earthquake in 2011, the ground floor of the building was washed away and the second floor was severely damaged. The brewery was completely rebuilt in May 2016 and is still certified as a nationally registered tangible cultural property. The brewery's sake has won many awards and is considered particularly light and fresh. Its aroma is not too strong and goes particularly well with seafood, the culinary flagship of Miyagi Prefecture. Kakuboshi is a small company with 30 employees, half of whom work in production.
