063 PRUNE NOUVEAU

This fresh brandy is made from organic sample greens harvested last fall at Sakurai Farm in the Saku region of Nagano Prefecture. Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, which is said to be the birthplace of sample greens, has little annual rainfall and a cool climate, so there are few pests and diseases.

It is characterized by its small, oval-shaped, deep purple fruit with a skin covered in fruit powder. When you put it in your mouth, the soft fruit has a good balance of sweetness and acidity. I resisted the urge to eat it as is and put it in a newly installed 500L amphora, fermented it thoroughly with natural yeast, and then distilled it.

In English, prune often refers to dried plums, while in France it also refers to a brandy made from plums that has been aged for a long time, called "Vieille Prune."

In contrast, we have named our eau-de-vie, which is made from freshly harvested prunes, fermented in amphorae, distilled and then aged in a glass balloon, making it like fresh prunes turned into a clear liquid.

The refined aroma and flavor of prunes makes it truly a fruit drink. It also goes well with chocolate and red bean paste.

This is a fresh brandy made from organic sampleons picked last fall at Sakurai Farm in the Saku region of Nagano Prefecture. The city of Saku, Nagano Prefecture, which is said to be the birthplace of the sample pea, has little rainfall and a cool climate, so there are few pests and diseases.

It is characterized by its small, oval shape, dark purple fruit, and a skin covered with fruit powder. The fruit is soft in the mouth and has a good balance of sweetness and sourness. I was tempted to eat the fruit as it was, but instead I put it in a newly introduced 500L amphora, fermented it thoroughly with natural yeast, and then distilled it.

In English, the word "prune" often refers to dried plums, and in France, there is a name for brandy made from plums that have been aged for a long time, called "Vieille Prune."

In contrast, our eau-de-vie is brewed from freshly harvested prunes in amphorae, and after distillation, it is aged in glass balloons, and we have named our eau-de-vie PRUNE NOUVEAU, as if it were a clear liquid made from fresh prunes.

The aroma and taste of purified prunes is just like drinking fruit. It is also a good match for chocolate and bean paste.
