"naturadistill Plum Blossom Mikan Distilled Liquor": Capturing the gentle season that arrives after winter
After the harsh winter, the satoyama slowly begins to regain its colors. We've bottled that "fleeting moment" of spring's arrival, while still holding a faint trace of snow.
This product expresses the gentle essence of Japanese spring, centered on plum blossoms and mikan (mandarin oranges). Juniper berries and kaya nuts form the backbone, while a hint of sansho pepper spice and the gentle sweetness of strawberries create a delicate yet profound finish.
When mixed with soda, the aroma unfolds as if a closed flower is blooming, spreading a subtle sweetness and gentle bitterness. Paired with fresh spring vegetables and wild edible plants, this bottle will enhance your spring dining experience.
"Capturing the natural deliciousness as it is": Using plum blossoms and mikan from "Manma Kajuen" in Shinchi Town, Fukushima Prefecture
The main botanicals, plum blossoms and mikan, are sourced from "Manma Kajuen" in Shinchi Town, Soma District, Fukushima Prefecture. This collaboration was realized by our shared philosophy with Manma Kajuen, who are committed to natural farming with the desire to "deliver the natural deliciousness as it is."
The plum blossoms, with their delicate aroma nurtured by the climate of Shinchi Town, and the mikan, with their elegant sweetness and acidity, are lovingly cultivated ingredients. Each ingredient is carefully distilled and bottled.
naturadistill's Japanese Flower Gin, expressed with the spring-announcing "Plum Blossoms"
While cherry blossoms are iconic for spring in Japan, naturadistill chose "plum blossoms." Their branches may be modest, but their dignified bloom amidst the cold, and the subtle fragrance that envelops the surroundings, represent the essential beauty of Japanese spring for us.
The idea for plum blossoms originated from our distiller, Takahashi. The scent of "plum blossoms" announcing spring, which he encountered in his childhood, was what captivated him and led to this inspiration.
This is naturadistill's first attempt to feature "flowers" as the main ingredient. How to express the "subtle yet strong scent" of plum blossoms, which is not merely flamboyant? After much trial and error, we arrived at "Ume Blossom Mikan Distilled Liquor," one answer to "Japanese Flower Gin." We invite you to savor it this spring.
