CITRUS illusion is an IPA-style craft beer made using “Yuko,” a “phantom fruit” produced in limited quantities in the mountainous regions of Tokushima Prefecture. JouZo Co., Ltd., founded in 2020 in Anan City, Tokushima Prefecture, manufactures and sells craft beer using local specialties as secondary ingredients. “Yuko” is a naturally crossbred species of “yuzu” and “daidai,” with a refreshing aroma that perfectly harmonizes with the bitterness of five types of hops, creating a drinkable and refreshing beer. The “Yuko” used in this beer was cultivated on reclaimed farmland, and each fruit was carefully peeled and processed by hand at our company. The finished beer is then slowly aged at low temperatures, allowing us to fully bring out the aroma of “Yuko.” Our craft beer aims to discover new value in local specialties and to increase interest in Tokushima Prefecture through these products. CITRUS illusion was brewed with this aspiration in mind and can be enjoyed in various settings, such as weekend dinners, time with loved ones, or during a blissful private moment after work. It pairs exceptionally well with white fish carpaccio. With the first sip, the image of the rare “Yuko” will vividly appear in your mind—its allure is truly an illusion. This beer, made possible with the cooperation of local farmers, is also perfect for soothing the fatigue of farm work and providing the energy needed for the next day. Please take a moment to enjoy CITRUS illusion and discover the charm of Tokushima Prefecture.
