Shibata Yuzu Sake 200ml
Shibata Black Yuzu has a junmai sake base, using Ginpu rice from Hokkaido then the local, organic yuzu is squeezed with the skin left on, thereby allowing for the juice to not be too sweet, with an added touch of tartness. Led by Shizuka Ito, one of very few female Toji (brewery master) in Japan. This is great to drink chilled or to use in cocktails or spritzes.
About the brewery:
Shibata Shuzo was established in 1830 in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, and is currently led by the Shibata family’s 8th generation President.
The village is called, “Kanzui” or “God’s water.” The water itself is outstandingly soft (water hardness of 0.2), and is one of the softest waters in all of Japan.
Shibata uses this Kanzui water for every step in the sake production process, including for Shikomi Mizu, or preparation water.
Led by Shizuka Ito, one of very few female Toji (brewery master) in Japan, Shibata sits at an elevation of 350 meters above sea level, and thereby benefits from cool summers and extremely cold winters.
