Tasting Notes
A refreshing top note from Ao(early harvest green) yuzu spreads out gorgeously.
Next comes the full aroma of rich juicy Shiranui (Sumo Mandarin).
A hidden flavor of Banpeiyu, which adds depth with slight bitterness and lingering aftertaste.
Carefully Selected Ingredients
3 precious citrus fruits grown in Kumamoto are selected for the gin: “Ao Yuzu”, also known as the green yuzu, is the green state of Yuzu before it fully ripens. It can only be harvested for one week a year; “Shiranui”, is associated with a natural phenomenon caused by the eruption of Mt. Aso. The name can be translated to "unknown fire" in English ; and “Banpeiyu”, also known as "pomelo", is the largest citrus fruit in the world.
