Yuzu sake martini - refreshing, delicious and quick to mix!

All you need for the yuzu sake martini is our Kinmon Ryogoku Kesennuma yuzu sake and Aichi Vodka Kiyosu. The latter is made from rice, is particularly mild and is wonderfully reminiscent of yuzu sake. 

Discover with us: Delicacies from Oita Prefecture

Oita Prefecture is located in the north-east of Kyushu and is known for its beautiful landscapes and hot springs as well as its high-quality products. Oita is one of the shochu strongholds, with many distilleries producing the finest mugi-shochu (barley shochu). Oita is also Japan's largest cultivation area for the great citrus fruit kabosu. 

For sake lovers: Shochu made from rice

The first shochu ever produced was a shochu made from rice, also known as kome shochu in Japan. It was simply a distilled sake. This was over 500 years ago. Rice shochu is still very popular today, as it is characterized by a special mildness and elegance. You can currently find four rice shochus in our store. We present them to you here.

Straight from the island of centenarians: Discover delicious awamori with us!

Okinawa is home to the highest number of over 100-year-olds and is also where Awamori, Okinawa's delicious craft spirit, comes from. Whether there is a connection between these two facts is likely, but has not been empirically proven. We present three delicious awamoris here.

Pineapple power! This cocktail is a real fruit bomb

Setsugoro Sake Kasu Shochu is made from Daiginjo pomace, and the rich and fruity flavors of the sake are passed on to the shochu. The taste is extremely fruity, with notes of ripe pear, pineapple, melon and banana. Paired with our Awamori Fruits Club Pineapple Liqueur and Omoya Gin, which focuses on the strong taste of yuzu, the result is a real fruit bomb.

🍑 Sweet, sour, fruity, tart - what type are you? 🍯

Sweet, sour, tart or fruity? Which flavor do you like best? Liqueurs are one of the most varied categories in the world of spirits. Cocktails would be unthinkable without them.
