Tasting Notes

Nose

Prominent yuzu with tart citrus — floral notes with green tea and pepper aromatics

Palate

Yuzu taking prominent role with tart citrus notes — green tea, pepper, lime with coriander bitterness, smooth and easy to drink with cool dry texture

Finish

Complex with flavours flitting back and forth — hints of tea, citrus, liquorice and vegetal botanicals persisting

First Impressions

Etsu Double Yuzu amplifies the Japanese citrus fruit that defined the original — seven days of maceration with double yuzu alongside matcha, sansho pepper and traditional botanicals. From Asahikawa on Hokkaido Island.

Tasting

The nose shows prominent yuzu with tart citrus and green tea. On the palate, yuzu leads with green tea, pepper and lime — smooth with cool dry texture and coriander bitterness. The finish is complex with flavours interplaying.

The Bottom Line

Etsu Double Yuzu earns a 7 for maximum Japanese citrus expression. The doubled yuzu creates intense tart-sweet character, and the matcha adds depth. Best with cloudy lemonade or in a Yuzu Sour cocktail.
