113 LOOT ROOT

Sales start from 10:00 on Sunday, May 29th

I once dug up gentian roots at a farm in Pontarlier, France, and since then I have been thinking about the spirit of Japanese roots.
The inspiration for this drink was SUZE, a French liqueur made with gentian. In Japan, burdock is the most common root vegetable, so we started by creating a spirit using organic burdock delivered from Hokkaido. The burdock was combined with Tendai Uyaku, a plant that was planted at the start of the herbal garden where mitosaya is located and has now reached the end of its lifespan. The intricately entangled Tendai Uyaku roots were carefully washed to remove the dirt, then finely chopped and processed.
The familiar taste of burdock, the refreshing aroma and bitterness of Tendai Uyaku, which is also used as a herbal medicine, the subtle sweetness of licorice harvested at mitosaya, and the vivid yellow of spring turmeric and autumn turmeric. The acidity of wine made in Niagara is also added to balance the flavor.
This is a distilled spirit made from the roots of the LOOT that have all come together for us. Please enjoy the deep, rich flavor.

The label was designed by Jason Logan, who used a feather to paint the colors on washi paper, extracted from grape and plum skins, turmeric, and iron rust.

I once dug up a gentian root, gentianiana, at a certain farm in Pontarlier, France. Since that time, I have been thinking of a Japanese root spirit.
I imagine Suze, a French liqueur made with gentian, and thinking that the root vegetable in Japan would be burdock root, I first made a spirit using organic burdock delivered from Hokkaido. The burdock was paired with Tendai Oyaku, which was planted at the startup of the herb garden where mitosaya is located and has completed its life span. The intensively entwined roots of the Tiantai oolong were carefully washed, cleaned of mud, and chopped into small pieces and processed.
The familiar taste of burdock root is combined with the refreshing aroma and bitterness, which is also used in herbal medicine, the subtle sweetness of the candlenut harvested at mitosaya, and the bright yellow color of spring and fall turmeric. The acidity of the wine made from Niagara was also added to the flavor.
All gathered to us (LOOT), the distillate of the root (ROOT) of the Enjoy the deep and nourishing flavor.
