The Sake:
It takes the whole yuzu fruit – flesh, seeds and peel – to give this Yuzu Sake its rich and fresh taste. SAKARI only uses yuzu from Kochi and Kagoshima, known for their high quality citrus fruits. By making full use of the tartness, slight bitterness, and flavor peculiar to Yuzu, and using junmai sake as raw materials, the refined umami and moderate sweetness creates a delightfully rounded harmony. So deliciously fresh, you’ll feel like you’re on a vacation in sunny southern Japan. Vegetarian, Gluten-free, and Preservative-free!

Why is it called “No. 21?”
Nihon Sakari made the Sakari brand specifically for the American market.  “No. 21” might be easier for a customer to order on a menu rather than “Sakari Yuzu.”

The Brewery:
The Nihon Sakari main HQ is in Nishinomiya, an area well known for sake brewing. In the 17th century, almost 30% of sake breweries were based there. In 2000 they changed the name of the company from Nishinomiya Sake Brewing Company to Nihon Sakari Co., LTD. They also have a sake based beauty product line developed in the 1980s. For their 120th anniversary, they re-established their slogan to be “More flavorful, more beautiful”.
