Small but full of flavor, this eau-de-vie is made only from kiwi.

Kiwis grown in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, which is said to be near the northern limit of cultivation in Japan, are characterized by their acidity and strong aroma. Mr. Hasegawa, whose family has been growing kiwis in this area for three generations, gave us kiwis picked at the end of autumn. As usual, I do not know how the fruit selection process works, but he gave me 400 kilograms of the smallest size kiwi, which are not used for shipping as fruit. After slow ripening, the kiwis were crushed and fermented with their skins. Some of the berries were separated and fermented further with the skins intact. After about 8 weeks of fermentation, the wine is distilled in three parts and aged in stainless steel tanks.

The wine has a fresh flavor and dry taste. It has a deep aftertaste. Enjoy it as an elegant after-dinner drink.
