Detailed tasting notes : On the nose, this liqueur reveals fresh, fruity aromas, dominated by the liveliness of shiiquasa and the sweetness of natsumikan. On the palate, the comforting texture blends perfectly with the balanced flavors of awamori, offering a rich, complex taste experience. Citrus notes bring a pleasant freshness, while the slight bitterness of shiiquasa and the sweetness of natsumikan create a delicate harmony.

Suggested pairings : Enjoy as an aperitif, dessert or digestif. Serve chilled, at room temperature, on the rocks, or diluted with a soft drink. It can also be lightly frozen to enhance its texture.

About the brewery : The brewery, originally called Kanna Sakaya, began brewing sake in 1942 in Ishigaki. In 1975, it introduced printed bottles for awamori, and in 1981, launched the first vacuum-distilled awamori. In 1992, the company became Seifuku Sake Brewery and won several awards, notably for its “old sake”. In 2001, it adopted direct-fire pot distillation, relaunching its product under the name “Direct-Fire Keifuku”. Over the years, many innovative products, such as “Hitotoki no Chura” (unfiltered awamori), yuzu and ginger liqueurs, and various awamori-based vinegars, have been marketed. In 2019 and throughout the Reiwa years, Seifuku continues to distinguish itself, winning several prestigious awards for its creations, including “Seifuku Vintage 43 Degrees”. The company continues to expand with the launch of new products, such as agricultural rum in 2023.
