Following on from IROMOJI and UME DAMONO , this is their latest collaboration with Hotel Korinkyo in Kanazawa.

Spring flowers have bloomed at mitosaya, signaling the end of the long winter.
One of them is the kobushi tree, a flowering tree that represents early spring. Generally, the leaves of trees sprout first, but the kobushi tree is a rare tree species that blooms from its flowers. It blooms before other trees sprout, so during this spring, its white form can be seen even in distant mountains.
After that, the sweetly scented honeysuckle flowers bloom. Also known as honeysuckles, they are a popular gathering place for honeybees in the spring when there are still few flowers.
And the Chinese quince, with its pretty yellow flowers, has a fleeting, faint fragrance.
The three floral spirits are added to an eau-de-vie made from watermelon and melon grown without pesticides in Akita Prefecture.
Finally, the drink is completed by adding kobushi flowers picked from a nearby rural mountain area and aromatic distilled water distilled in Korinkyo's still.
You can enjoy the elegant taste of the Cucurbitaceae family with its clear bluish flavor and the gentle fragrance of Japanese flowers.

Spring flowers bloomed at mitosaya as if to announce the end of a long winter.
One is kobushi, a flowering tree representative of early spring. Generally, trees bud first with their leaves, but kobushi is a rare tree species that blooms from its flowers. Since it blooms before other trees bud, its white form can be seen in distant mountains during this spring season.
What blooms afterward are honeysuckle flowers that emit a sweet, gorgeous fragrance. Also called honeysuckle, it is a gathering place for honeybees in the spring when flowers are still scarce.
Then there is sanshuyu (Rubus sanshuyu), with its dainty yellow flowers and faint, pale fragrance.
Spirits made from these three flowers are added to an eau de vie made from watermelon and melon grown without pesticides in Akita Prefecture.
Finally, aromatic distilled water made from fist flowers collected in a satoyama not far from Korinjyu and distilled in Korinjyu's distillation equipment was added.
You will experience the elegant taste of Japanese flowers softly and gently fragrant with the bluish and transparent flavor of the melon family.
