虫秘茶」は、京都大学農学研究科の丸岡氏によるプロジェクト。蛾の幼虫のフンがその食べた葉の特性を反映した独特の香りを持つことに着目し、桜をはじめとするさまざまな植物をさまざまな昆虫に食べさせ、フンを採取・試飲してきました。五感に訴える色、味、香りの要素と、化学的な香気分析や液体分析の結果を総合し、特に優れた香りを持つ種類のフンを日本の様々な地方で集めています。

mitosayaでは、虫秘茶との共同開発により、特別なスピリッツ「LEPI TRAIL」を生み出しました。虫の通った跡を意味するこのスピリッツには、桜の葉を食べた蛾の幼虫である「オオシモフリスズメ」と「オオミズアオ」のフンが原料として使われています。

フンには桜葉特有の芳香成分である桜餅のような豊かな香りをもち、それぞれ異なる季節の特徴を感じさせます。オオシモフリスズメのフンは晩春に桜の葉を食べた幼虫から採取され、甘く深い香りが特徴です。一方、オオミズアオのフンは初夏の葉から生まれ、爽やかさが際立ちます。

オオミズアオのフンをスピリッツに浸漬し、蒸留することで桜の風味を純粋に引き出しました。また、アルコール度数の調整には、オオシモフリスズメのフンを使用した虫秘茶を用い、2種類のフンの香りを異なる方法で引き出し、最終的に融合させました。口に含むとフルーティーで豊かな桜の香りが広がります。

生き物たちの静かな営みと豊かな自然の香りをお楽しみください。

虫秘茶 Chu-hi-cha” is a project by Dr. Maruoka of the Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University. Focusing on the fact that moth larvae feces have a unique aroma reflecting the characteristics of the leaves they eat, various plants including cherry blossoms have been fed to various insects, and the feces have been collected and tasted. By synthesizing color, taste, and aroma elements that appeal to the senses with the results of chemical aroma and liquid analysis, we have collected a variety of feces from various regions of Japan that have particularly outstanding aromas.

In collaboration with “Chu-hi-cha”, MITOSAYA has created a special spirit called LEPI TRAIL. This spirit, which means “insect trail,” is made from the feces of the moth larvae “Oshimofurisume” and “Oomizuao,” which are the larvae of moths that feed on cherry leaves.

The feces has a rich aroma similar to that of cherry blossom cake, an aromatic ingredient unique to cherry leaves, and each has its own seasonal characteristics. The feces of the giant tree sparrow is collected from the larvae that feed on cherry leaves in late spring, and is characterized by a sweet, deep fragrance. On the other hand, the Great Mallow poop is produced from the leaves in early summer and has a distinctly fresh flavor.

The cherry blossom flavor is brought out in its purest form by macerating and distilling the giant mizuao feces in spirits. In addition, the alcohol content was adjusted by using insect secret tea made from the feces of the great spotted flycatcher, bringing out the aroma of the two types of feces in different ways and finally merging them together. The fruity and rich aroma of cherry blossoms spreads in the mouth.

Please enjoy the quiet activities of living creatures and the rich natural aroma.
