Yomeishu Ginger

Manufacturer Yomeishu is known throughout Japan primarily for its product of the same name, "Yomeishu". The history of what is probably the oldest alcoholic herbal medicine in the world dates back to 1602. Yomeishu is therefore an absolute expert in the use of plants and herbs in the production of alcoholic beverages. The 12 herbs used are first soaked in alcohol to enhance the flavor and extract the ingredients. Honey is then added. The result is a unique and complex ginger flavor that blends perfectly and harmoniously with the nuances of the herbs. The herbs used are: Chenpi (dried tangerine peel), jujube (Chinese date), fennel, ginseng, Szechuan pepper, safflower, rosemary, cinnamon, ginkgo biloba extract, hawthorn, paprika and elderflower.

This delicacy can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, and is a great ingredient for intense and exciting cocktails and long drinks (for example with ginger beer or tonic). The manufacturer recommends tasting Yomeishu Ginger extended with hot water ("Oyuwari").

Neither fragrances nor colorants are used in Yomeishu Ginger. Please shake well before drinking! Color changes after opening are possible. This in no way affects the taste or quality of this product. Please store in the refrigerator after opening.

Headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, Yomeishu is best known in Japan for the eponymous "Yomeishu". It is Japan's oldest alcoholic herbal medicine, with a history dating back to 1602. Yomeishu has a wealth of experience in the use of plants and herbs in the production of alcohol. While many similar products such as Chartreuse or Jägermeister have moved away from their medicinal roots and have long been found in bars around the world, Yomeishu is still considered more of a medicinal drink and is sold in pharmacies across the country. At the beginning of 2019, the company then launched three craft spirits: Kanomori Gin, Kanoshizuku Gin and a craft gin cocktail. The portfolio was expanded shortly afterwards to include Yomeishu Ginger and Yomeishu Ginseng. Yomeishu is also keen to make a contribution to climate protection and had a solar park built in Tsurugashima City in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, in 2013. This generates electricity for 400 to 500 households every year.
