The Japanese Bitters

Umami
Umami Bitters is made from carefully selected high quality materials from all over Japan such as kelp, bonito flakes, and dried shiitake mushrooms, which contain the most UMAMI components. The balance between each ingredients and citrus is created to the finest attention to details.

Yuzu
The Yuzu is a citrus fruit and plant originating in Southern Japan. It is believed to be a hybrid of sour mandarin and Ichang Papeda. This fruit resembles a very small grapefruit with uneven skin texture and can be either yellow or green depending on the degree of ripeness. Yuzu fruits, which are very aromatic, typically ranging from 5.5 and 7.5 cm in diameter. However, some can be as large as a grapefruit. Yuzu bitters are purchased directly from the farmers in Tokushima prefecture, where it is known as the yuzu production district. Yuzu bitters are made with fresh and fragrant Citrus junos.

Shiso
Shiso is the present common name for the Asian culinary herb, seed (spice), and the entirety of the Perilla frutescens plant, which belongs to the mint family. The whole leaf of green shiso is often used as a receptacle to hold wasabi or various garnishes on a sushi plate. Shiso bitters are prepared using carefully selected blue shiso from the longstanding Aoba plantation, which grows the highest quality of shiso in Chiba Prefecture. Chiba Prefecture is also the heart of Japanese Bitter production.

Hinoki
Hinoki, also known as rattan, which is a traditional lumber used to construct temples in Japan. The aroma of rattan has been shown to have a positive effect on the body, such as acting on the parasympathetic nerves of the autonomic nervous system, promoting the generation of alpha waves in the brain, normalizing breathing and eliminating insomnia, etc. Pure 100% persimmons, that lives in the nature of Tama (known as a forestry site in Tokyo), are extracted carefully by low temperature vacuum extraction method together with domestic alcohol and water.
Applying this will create interesting combinations, especially for cocktails, such as gin and tonics, highballs, gin and whiskey based cocktails, shochu (rice wine) sake, rum, tequila and even beer. You can also enjoy it as an aromatic carbonated water with the oaky fragrance just by adding it to soda or tonic water.

Sakura
Cherry blossom (Sakura) was the most requested flavor for bitters from many people. We ordered them from factories around the country that manufacture and process cherry blossom raw materials. Sakura, the key ingredient, is a blend of natural cherry petals and leaves. We carefully select only those that are both grown naturally without pesticides.
As for the taste, gorgeous sweet aromas such as cherry blossom rice cake, also an exquisite salty harmony drawn from salted leaves add flowers to your dining table. Could be used mainly for cocktails, either for home parties or simple cocktails, especially gin and whiskey-based cocktails such as gin tonics and/or highballs. It adds quite an interesting flavour once added to Japanese spirits, such as gin, whiskey, shochu, sake, beer, etc.
Of course you can use it for food. The compatibility with ice cream and other desserts is outstanding. Also, simply add it to soda or tonic water to enjoy as an aromatic carbonated water with Sakura essence.
