Sales start from 20:00 on Tuesday, December 20th

This eau-de-vie is made with Unshu mandarins harvested in an orchard managed by AMBESSA & CO in Minamiboso. Although it is called an orchard, it is actually a mountain that is almost untouched. Naturally grown mandarins are a vivid sign in the winter mountains where there are few colors. Because of this, there was an incident two years ago where the mandarins were eaten by monkeys just before harvest, but last year, on December 17th, humans were able to safely harvest about 100 kilograms of mandarins.

Once the mandarins are brought home, they are peeled one by one and placed in tanks, where they are left to ferment within the berries using the carbonic maceration technique.

Following the AMBESSA motto of "PURE, NATURAL & SUSTAINABLE", no yeast, water, sugar, etc. are added, and the weight of the fruit gradually crushes the berries, waiting for fermentation to begin at the bottom of the tank. After three weeks, when the volume of liquid increases and fermentation subsides, the berries are crushed and fermentation continues, and when the sugar is almost gone, it is distilled. It is aged for 10 months in a stainless steel tank and is completed. A pure mandarin eau-de-vie made only from the flesh of the mandarin. There is only a 10L product. It does not have the gorgeousness of orange, but it is extremely smooth to drink, and the rich aroma of mandarin lingers after drinking.

This eau de vie is made from Onshu mandarins harvested in an orchard managed by AMBESSA & CO in Minami-Boso. Although we call it an orchard, it is actually an almost untouched mountain. The mandarins growing in their natural state are like a vivid sign in the mountains in winter, when the number of colors is low. This is one of the reasons why we had an incident before the year before last where monkeys ate the oranges just before harvesting, but last year, on December 17, humans were able to safely harvest about 100 kg of oranges.

The oranges are peeled one by one, placed in tanks, and left in their original state to ferment in the kernel using the maceration-carbonic method. In keeping with AMBESSA's motto of "PURE, NATURAL & SUSTAINABLE," no yeast, water or sugar is added, and the grapes are gradually crushed by the weight of the fruit, waiting for fermentation to begin at the bottom of the tank. After three weeks, when the liquid volume has increased and fermentation has subsided, the fruits are crushed and further fermentation takes place, and the wine is distilled when the sugar content is almost gone. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 10 months to complete the process. This is a pure mandarin eau-de-vie, created from only the fruit of the mandarin oranges. Only 10 liters of this product is available. Although it does not have the floral flavor of european orange, it is infinitely smooth to drink and leaves a rich aroma of Unshu oranges after the drink is over.
