- Captivating flavor of fruit sake
- Fruit and sake are a great combination. Umeshu is one of the most famous fruit liqueurs but there are many other which are just as delicious.
Miwaku series produced by Maruishi Shuzo are a great choice of fruit liqueurs. We would like to introduce three different flavors – yuzu, peach and mango. The base for all the three liqueurs is junmai-shu so you can also expect a high-quality taste of sake. The light alcohol percentage of just 7% is attractive even to those who don’t like alcohol and it is perfect for making cocktails.
