This is the first spirit distilled from mead, which is brewed with local honey and aromatic fruits.

Last summer, we were given some honey by Asao, who keeps bees with us on the mitosaya premises, and we decided to try making mead. Since we were going to make it, we wanted to add the seasonal fruits we prepare as a fermentation starter. We added figs to the honey harvested from Japanese pepper flowers, and nectarines and mitosaya wild grapes to the flower honey. We were enchanted by the rich fruity aroma that rose with vigorous fermentation.

After a month of brewing, it is distilled and then aged in a glass flask for six months, resulting in a fruity, sweet-smelling spirit that is hard to believe is a distilled spirit.

Mead, brewed with honey and fruit, is called MELOMEL, so we added a delicious exclamation point, MMM, to the name.

It has a sweet and sour refreshing aroma like red fruits and stone fruits, followed by a honey aroma. It goes well with a simple pound cake.

This is the first spirit distilled from mead brewed with local honey and aromatic fruit.

Last summer, we were given honey from Mr. Asao, a beekeeper who also works with us at the mitosaya property, to make mead. If we were going to go to the trouble of making it, we wanted to add some of the seasonal fruits we are preparing as a starter for fermentation. We add figs to the honey from the Prunus persica flowers, nectarines to the nectarines, and wild grapes from the mitosaya. The fruity and rich aroma that rises with The vigorous fermentation is enchanting.

After one month of brewing, it is distilled and aged in glass flasks for six months. The result is a fruity, aromatic, and luscious spirit that is hard to believe it is distilled.

Mead brewed by adding fruit to honey is called MELOMEL, and we have attached the delicious exclamation mark MMM to the name!

The aroma is sweet, sour, and refreshing, like red fruit or stone fruit, with a hint of honey in the aftertaste. It can be enjoyed with simple pound cake, etc.
