Since starting mitosaya, we have been making fig brandy every year from Kawajima Town, Saitama Prefecture.
At the beginning of August, we went to pick up the large Masui Dauphins prepared by the Kawajima Town Fig Producers' Association and started preparing them right away. The 1 ton of figs, delivered in several batches, were perfectly ripe, with the highest sugar content and aroma, and were soft enough to be easily crushed by hand. The surface was slightly moist, and vigorous fermentation began immediately.

About a month from the beginning of August. The fresh and juicy aroma gradually changes to a sweet and heavy aroma containing alcohol. After sufficient fermentation has progressed, it is distilled in several batches.
It was aged for 10 months in the same oak barrels that were used to age FIG CASK last year.
The sweetness of the wooden barrel is softly combined with the green flavor of the figs.

Enjoy it as an aperitif or after-dinner drink, or as an accompaniment to adult conversation.

Since we started mitosaya, we have been making fig brandy every year from figs grown in Kawashima-cho, Saitama Prefecture.
At the beginning of August, we go to pick up the large Masui Dauphins prepared by the Kawashima-machi Fig Growers Association and prepare them immediately. They are at the peak of their sugar content and aroma, and are so soft that they can be easily crushed by hand. The surface is slightly moistened, and vigorous fermentation begins without the addition of yeast.

It takes about one month from the beginning of August. The fresh, lush aroma gradually changes to a sweet, heavy aroma with alcohol. After fermentation has progressed sufficiently, the wine is distilled several times.
The wine is aged for 10 months in oak barrels, which were also used to age FIG CASK last year.
The sweetness of the wooden barrels is softly combined with the unique greenness of figs.
Enjoy it slowly as an aperitif, after-dinner drink, or as an accompaniment to conversation.
