ABOUT THE SAKE
Suigei Brewing Co., Ltd., established in 1872 in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, has a rich history spanning over 150 years. The brewery, originally named Kichizō, was renamed Suigei, meaning "Drunken Whale," inspired by a historical nickname for a local lord known for his love of sake. Located in Tosa City, Suigei benefits from Kochi’s pristine natural environment, including access to high-quality water from the Niyodo River, one of Japan’s purest water sources. This water is crucial for crafting their signature clean and crisp sakes.
In 2018, Suigei opened Tosa-gura, a modern brewery in Tosa City, complementing its traditional Nagahama-gura facility to produce premium sakes and innovative liqueurs like Kaju Yuzu, which showcases Kochi’s status as Japan’s top yuzu-producing region.
TASTING NOTE:
Suigei Kaju Yuzu is a citrus liqueur crafted with 39% fruit juice from three Kochi-grown citrus fruits—yuzu, konatsu, and naoshichi (a type of sudachi)—blended with Suigei’s refined sake. It boasts a vibrant, refreshing aroma of fresh citrus, with yuzu’s distinctive tartness leading the bouquet. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of sweet and sour flavors, with a juicy citrus burst enriched by the subtle umami of sake. The texture is smooth and lively, with a clean, invigorating finish.
