Oka Japanese Citrus Yuzu Flavored Vodka

Oka Yuzu Vodka is a Japanese rice-based vodka infused with the vibrant flavors of yuzu, a citrus fruit renowned for its aromatic complexity. Produced by the Tsutsumi Distillery in Kumamoto Prefecture, this vodka undergoes a meticulous process:

1. Base Spirit: Distilled five times from 100% rice, ensuring a clean and smooth foundation. 

2. Yuzu Integration:

• Distillation: Fresh yuzu pulp and peels are incorporated during distillation, imparting delicate citrus notes.
• Maceration: Post-distillation, yuzu peels are macerated in the vodka for one week, enhancing intensity and providing a natural yellow hue.

The result is a vodka that captures the essence of yuzu, offering a harmonious balance of bright citrus flavors and the subtle sweetness of rice.

Nose: Inviting aromas of fresh yuzu zest, complemented by floral undertones and a hint of jasmine blossom.

Palate: A vibrant, oily texture with pronounced yuzu peel flavors, accompanied by subtle notes of underripe mango and white tea.

Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a gentle sweetness.

Oka Yuzu Vodka pairs well with seafood dishes such as sashimi or ceviche, where its citrus profile enhances the freshness of the fish. It also complements light salads with citrus dressings and can be enjoyed in cocktails like a Yuzu Martini or a refreshing Yuzu Spritz.
