Colorful, fruity & light - The world of Japanese liqueurs
Whether minty, bitter, sweet or refreshingly sourish... The main thing is palatable!
Our Japanese liqueurs are a palate-filling surprise - in aroma, in intensity and in their variety of exciting combination possibilities.
And unlike here, in Japan every drop that is not unmixed is considered a liqueur. Which doesn't mean there has to be a lot of alcohol involved. As with their artistic dishes, the Japanese also focus on an authentic, present and flavourful drinking experiences - colorful, fruity and sometimes surprisingly light.
Minty in pink
The Aka Shiso looks extremely sweet because of its intense pink color, but surprises naturally minty, refreshingly fruity and only slightly sweet. This shiso liqueur - with notes of dark berries, cassis, anise and liquorice - is really fresh and light (8% Vol.), a quaffable aperitif drink.
Cloudy & fruity
The Kyo Yuzu Nigori is a light Junmai Nigori with hand pressed yuzu juice. A refreshing aperitif drink, with a low alcohol content (7% Vol.) and a long-lasting finish. Pleasantly fruity on the nose and fresh and sweet-sourish on the palate.
Racy, complex & sweet
The step up for yuzu lovers is called kabosu. The Kabosu no Susume is a light (4.5% Vol.), fruity and sweet Junmai with hand pressed kabosu juice. With its refreshing taste of citrus fruit and the sourish-bitter finish also a perfect spring fruit liqueur.
Strong & tangy
Not light but strong in taste, the Ohako Umeshu is convincing really sweet and with a complex, tangy note. This plum liqueur made from Gojiro plums - on a sesame-shochu base - is strongly reminiscent of marzipan and amaretto and is just perfect enjoyed pure or on ice as a dessert drop or as an excellent cheese companion.
Pure, on the rocks or exciting mixed in a cocktail: Enjoy colorful, fruity - Japanese Style.
Kanpai!
