Learn to Beat the Heat with Japan’s Favourite Thirst Quencher - Heiwa Shuzo Yuzushu Plus More

Welcome to the world of Heiwa Shuzo, they’re renowned for their Yuzushu – a delightful drink crafted from one-year-old Junmai Sake and a generous 1:1 squeeze of fresh yuzu juice. Each sip bursts with the zing of limoncello, complemented by exotic florals, leading to a finish that is both tart and refreshingly bitter. We love it served over ice or as a cheeky Yuzushu Margarita. Read on for the recipe.

A big part of Heiwa Shuzo’s success is the vital role they play in supporting farmers. The
'Tsuru-ume' range showcases Wakayama’s very best produce, with Heiwa Shuzo working directly with local Ume (plum) and yuzu fruit farmers to source exceptional fruit. If ume and yuzu flavours aren’t your thing, don’t stress – we have more Heiwa Shuzo ‘Tsuru-ume’ flavours for you to try. Explore the other redolent fruits of Wakayama - Ichigo (strawberry), Lemon, Natsumikan (Tangerine), Umeshu (plum). There's something for everyone.

New to Heiwa Shuzo? Here’s a Tip on How to Store it
Store in a cool dark place, avoiding direct sunlight. Once opened the Heiwa 'Tsuru-ume'
range will last well for at least 8 - 10 weeks, ideally in a refrigerator.

Shake Things Up with a Yuzushu Margarita
So here’s the deal: start by grabbing yourself a margarita glass or a champagne coupe. Wet the rim with a wedge of lime, then dunk it into a shallow dish of sea salt. Set that glass aside for now and get your shaker ready. Fill it with ice, and then pour in 40ml of tequila, followed by 40ml of Heiwa Tsuru-ume Yuzushu. Then drop in 20ml of Cointreau. Shake that thing like you mean it – nice and thorough. Once the shaker’s ice-cold strain the mixture into your glass, topped with a good helping of crushed ice. Stick that lime wedge on the rim, give it one last look, and take a sip. Enjoy.
