500ml | 23%

Yuzushu is a traditional Japanese liqueur made from a small Japanese citrus fruit closely resembling a cross between lemon and naartjie - Yuzu.

Traditionally, the crushed Yuzu fruit is steeped in clear alcohol and sugar with a strength of around 20%.
At Pienaar & Son we have chosen to marry the imported Japanese fruit with some added local flavours.
Boosting the complexity and mouthfeel by including, fresh Spekboom and toasted rice while increasing the intensity by holding the liqueur at 23% 

A beautifully tart and sweet, citrus forward offering best enjoyed straight out of the fridge or on ice.

Yuzushu is an opportunity to taste the wonderfully mysterious notes of the Yuzu fruit, expertly blended and presented by a passionate team from a tiny distillery

 in Cape Town.

Something New. Something Old.

For centuries, Japan has celebrated the delicate art of fruit liqueurs — from the rich, plum sweetness of Umeshu to the bright, citrusy character of Yuzushu.

We wanted to bring those ancient flavours to a new home.

Our Japanese Liqueurs take inspiration from these traditional Japanese drinks, but are made right here in South Africa, using locally sourced ingredients and our own approach to craft and flavour.
