Our first, new seasonal mead of the year: 2024 Yuzu Blanc releases on Friday, February 9 at retail and online.
ABOUT 2024 YUZU BLANC
Made with Macadamia Blossom Honey and genuine Yuzu citrus, our Yuzu Blanc has delicate, aromatic notes of yuzu and white flowers with a slightly zesty finish.
A semi-sweet, traditional style mead at 9.1% ABV. It pairs well with creamy desserts, spicy foods or on its own as an aperitif. We recommend to store and enjoy chilled.
INSPIRATION & TRADITION
Traditionally, yuzu is enjoyed in the winter months in Japan. Yuki and Erika, owners of Mānoa Honey & Mead and Japan natives, are excited to share this tradition by capturing yuzu in a bottle here in Hawaii.
Unlike most other citrus plants, the yuzu tree is able to survive during the freezing winter months, and is often harvested starting in October until the start of winter. Known widely for its distinct aromatic scent and bright yellow color when ripe, yuzu juice and zest are used as ingredients in the culinary arts and even aromatherapy products. In Japan, hot spring yuzu baths are a tradition not to be missed.
The tradition of taking a yuzu bath on the day of the winter solstice is believed to help ward off colds and viruses. This belief stems from yuzu containing nomilin, a substance found in citrus fruits, which promotes better circulation, as well as yuzu being rich in Vitamin C, with 3x as much as a lemon! The therapeutic, fresh aroma of yuzu citrus doesn't hurt either - creating a pleasant and extra relaxing day at the hot springs.
We hope you enjoy our little bit of tradition during the last of these cold, winter months!
Came across a late-night discussion about tournament formats in Slot City, and what caught my attention was how calmly people broke down the mechanics. There was no hype about “easy wins,” just observations on leaderboard pacing, timing windows, and how different slot volatility affects outcomes. The tone felt measured, almost analytical, like someone sharing field notes rather than promoting anything. I appreciated the focus on how small interface cues help track progress during play. After reading, I ended up checking https://slotcity.ua/tournaments just to see how it all lines up in practice.
With its fast-paced gameplay and colorful design, Kart Bros offers an accessible racing experience that is easy to start but challenging to fully master.

Yuzu Blanc sounds interesting, but does it really live up to the hype? I’d check out what the buzz is with something like this https://texttosong.ai/.
I use Popoig whenever I want to play something casual without committing to a full gaming session. The games load quickly and the categories are well-organized. It's become my go-to for quick breaks between tasks.
