WAKAZE “Yuzu”
France
The best of the zest
From the Camargue rice and mint to the yuzu from Eus, every ingredient is local to France. No sugar was added in this sake’s creation, so you might find it has an understated sweetness. This one has a fresh acidity alongside some slight bitterness, with notes of mint adding another layer of complexity. It pairs well with seafood and simple, French-inspired home-cooked meals!
