A bold twist on tradition, Kitayima Salt ‘n Yuzu is a vibrant, citrus-forward sake infused with the fresh zest of Japanese yuzu and a dash of salt.

The result? A wildly refreshing, slightly savoury, and utterly moreish sake that recalls the bright, bracing notes of limoncello—only lighter, cleaner, and uniquely Japanese.

Crafted by Kitajima Shuzo, a brewery with over 200 years of brewing heritage, this sake merges their deep-rooted craftsmanship with a playful, contemporary spirit.

The base is a smooth Junmai sake, layered with natural yuzu juice and finished with a delicate touch of salt to enhance umami and lift the citrus even further.

Zingy, thirst-quenching, and versatile, it’s perfect as a chilled aperitif, a crisp companion to rich dishes, or a surprising twist in cocktails.

This is a sake that doesn’t play by the rules—and that’s exactly why we love it.

How to Enjoy Kitayima Salt ‘n Yuzu — Your New Citrus Obsession

This sake isn’t just a drink — it’s a mood, a moment, a whole new way to refresh. Kitayima Salt ‘n Yuzu is made to be played with, and its bright citrus and subtle savoury notes open up endless possibilities beyond the sake glass.

Here are our favourite ways to enjoy it:

On the Rocks
Let the yuzu sing solo. Pour over ice and sip slowly — perfect as a pre-dinner aperitif or a post-beach pick-me-up.

As a Sake Spritz
Top it with chilled Cava or Prosecco for an effortlessly elegant spritz. Add a twist of lemon or a rosemary sprig for extra flair.

Yuzu Cooler by the Pool
Mix it with sparkling water over ice and garnish with mint or cucumber. Light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink.

Sake Margarita Twist
Add tequila or mezcal, a splash of lime, and shake with ice. The salt and yuzu combo makes it a natural base for a bright, smoky margarita.

Sangria with a Citrus Kick
Blend with white wine, peach slices, fresh herbs, and soda water. Serve in a pitcher and share the joy.

❄️ Granita Style
Freeze it into a slushy granita for an icy, boozy dessert. Scoop into a chilled glass and top with a little extra Salt ‘n Yuzu for a grown-up snow cone.

This is a sake that thrives on creativity — so don’t be afraid to make it your own.
