The best grapefruit liqueur in the world! Today we introduce Japan’s most premium grapefruit liqueur, crafted with a recipe developed by the legendary and nearly mythical Bar Yoko—a place so secretive that few people will ever set foot inside.

According to Tatenokawa Shuzo, the Yoko Bar that inspired this liqueur is hidden deep in the mountains of Chokaisan (exact location undisclosed), closed on weekdays, occasionally open on weekends, and strictly for regulars only. Owner Yoko, pictured below, is an adventurous spirit and a genius mixologist who often shares her bar tales as illustrations on Instagram.

During her travels, Yoko encountered two cowboy types (depicted as the two tough guys on the bottle) who were obsessed with grapefruit cocktails. This premium grapefruit creation was crafted just to impress them!

Give the bottle a shake and pour—the drink contains a touch of real grapefruit pulp. On the nose, you get a vibrant burst of grapefruit and orange sweetness, instantly invigorating. The taste is simply amazing! While there’s no pulp texture, the intense flavor of real grapefruit explodes in your mouth, feeling like biting into a whole, fresh fruit. It’s neither overly sour nor cloyingly sweet, with a subtle grapefruit rind bitterness that adds authenticity. Savor it slowly and you’ll experience a symphony of grapefruit, orange, and sake—acidity, sweetness, and bitterness in perfect balance. It’s a high-quality, complex taste that adds depth to life.

Tatenokawa Shuzo, based in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, is famed for its “Kodakara” fruit and yogurt liqueurs. A few years ago, they launched the “Bar Yoko” premium product line—an upgrade in both flavor and packaging, and now one of the most highly regarded liqueur ranges in Japan.

Whether you’re partying, enjoying drinks with friends, or just want to experience Yoko’s mixology genius, this is the perfect choice! Enjoy it neat over ice, or mix 1:1 with soda water for a refreshing twist.
