Fallen Leaf Sake Katsura Milk

It's back again this year, scented only with fallen Katsura leaves.

This is definitely the only "Fallen Leaf Sake" in the world.

The leaves of the deciduous broadleaf tree "Katsura" have a caramel scent in autumn.

This is because of the aromatic compound "maltol" that occurs when sugar is burnt. Strangely, the green leaves do not have this scent.

We collected a lot of sweet fallen leaves, which can only be harvested in autumn, from the Hida forest in Gifu and made a delicious sake.

Even richer and sweeter than last year.

●What does it taste like?

It has a captivating taste like black tea + caramel. There is a drink called Tiffin, and I think that is the closest flavor.

●What is the best way to drink it?

Mixing it with milk is highly recommended. Another recommendation is to drink it straight with a little water, swirl it around in your mouth, and enjoy the aroma unfolding.

●Why is it called Katsura Milk?

When I first came across these leaves in the forests around Lake Towada in Aomori, I had a sudden inspiration. "This scent would definitely go well with milk. I know, I want to make a drink with a pun on Katsura Milk..." (laughs).
