Yuzu liqueur with natural pulp
Keeping both the aroma and texture of the fruit
The ingredients are blended at low temperature, with yuzu juice, pulp and natural citrus oil intentionally left in the liqueur. Sake softens the sharper edges of the fruit’s acidity and bitterness.
Low-temperature blending
Gentle handling preserves the vivid citrus aroma that can easily fade with heat.
Pulp left in the bottle
Fine fruit solids and oil give the liqueur a tangible fruit texture as well as aroma.
A rounded balance of acidity, peel and fruit
The sake-and-spirit base supports the yuzu clearly, giving the lower-alcohol liqueur a layered, complete shape.
Fresh yuzu aroma, juicy acidity and soft peel bitterness
A clear Japanese-yuzu fragrance rises first, followed by lively acidity. The peel note remains gentle, while the fine pulp gives the finish a softly lingering texture.

Four directions shaped by yuzu aroma and gentle bitterness
These pairings are not official combinations announced by the producer, but a reading of the aroma and flavor characteristics recorded on the product page. Yuzu’s clear fragrance, lively acidity, gentle peel bitterness, and a long finish from its fine pulp form the basis for four directions.
The aroma molecules that make up citrus fragrance are known to overlap closely with fat-derived aromas in seafood, giving a theoretical basis for pairing with richer ingredients. Aragoshi Yuzu’s clear fragrance and gentle bitterness follow this same logic.
