This is mitosaya's first white curacao (orange liqueur) made entirely from Japanese citrus fruits.
We all peeled the citrus fruits such as mandarin oranges, kabosu, bitter oranges, and sweet oranges harvested at Mitosaya, fermented only the flesh, and then distilled it. Using this citrus eau-de-vie as a base, we blended the citrus peel spirits we have made so far, including Hebesu from Oita, New Summer Orange from Higashiizu, Shonan Gold from Odawara, and Tankan from Okinawa.
In 1849, the French brothers Cointreau invented a less sweet white curacao and labeled it Triple-Sec (three times drier) in contrast to the sweet liqueurs that had been available up until then. Since then, Triple Sec has become synonymous with white curacao. However, we still find it too sweet.
CINQ SEC has a higher alcohol content and is therefore less sweet. Enjoy the drier, more fragrant, layered and soft flavors of Japanese citrus.
Drink it straight or on the rocks. It can also be used in sweets and cocktails.
