For years Umenoyado Brewery has set the standard for premium Japanese fruit liqueurs. Their Aragoshi (literally “roughly pressed”) yuzu-shu is a benchmark of the category, with fully 21% of the volume made from freshly pressed yuzu juice, with plenty of pulp.
Founded in 1893, in recent years Umenoyado has become a trailblazer for new categories and styles, in particular fine sake based liqueurs. Their Aragoshi line features premium sake infused with high quality natural fruit, excellent on the rocks or in a myriad of cocktail applications.
Fifth generation owner and president Kayo Yoshida’s philosophy is to make sake rooted in tradition but with an eye toward the future, and to making sake that can be enjoyed both locally in Japan and around the world.
