Jinyu “Yuzushu”
Chiba prefecture
Impressive yuzu zing
Using plenty of locally grown yuzu from Chiba prefecture, this yuzu sake packs all the zing that yuzu lovers want, while balancing it with added sweetness. Just like its ume counterpart, a little goes a long way and it’s delicious on the rocks, cut with soda or served straight. The natural brightness of the citric acid will blow your fatigue away after a long day. Available in limited quantities.

Nabedana
Nabedana’s ancestors started brewing sake in Narita, Chiba, by Naritasan Temple more than 320 years ago in the Edo period (1603-1868) during the era of the Tokugawa shogunate. Their brewery, located in Kozaki, Chiba, has access to an abundance of high-quality water and sake rice. For the last few decades they have been brewing their signature brand, Jinyu, using the best ingredients from the region, but their legacy of brewing the finest sake has been a family tradition for more than three centuries! Their brewing motto, “Never compromise,” has been passed down to more than 19 generations.
