218 LITHA ABSINTHE

7/26（日）10:00〜販売開始

暑い、暑すぎて大好きな蒸留酒さえも暑苦しい。自分も含めてそんな人に向けたアブサンです。1年の中で昼の時間が最も長くなり、太陽の力が最大になる日、LITHA（リーザ）を名前につけました。

原料はすべて地元で採れたもの。特にいいのは昨夏に収穫した大きな種の実ったフェンネル。甘やかなオイルが特徴的なテクスチャーを生み出します。

ニガヨモギと日本よもぎの涼し気な香り、仕上げに加えたプラムのオードヴィーが華やかです。何度か栽培を試みてどうしてもうまく育ってくれないアニスが入っていない分、軽やかで爽快。ソーダ割りはもちろんのこと、ロックに柑橘を一搾り。盛夏すらも涼しく過ごせます。

A distilled spirit made from pesticide-free olives grown at the Katsushige Yamamoto Olive Farm in Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Mr. Yamamoto cultivates seven varieties of olives on a plot of land spanning approximately 2,500 square meters. It is generally recommended that harvested olives be pressed within 24 hours—and ideally within 8 hours—to prevent oxidation and fermentation from setting in. However, Mr. Yamamoto of the Katsushige Yamamoto Olive Farm presses his olives within just 4 hours of harvest, capturing their vivid aroma.

What arrived at mitosaya were the olive fruits left over after pressing. The moment you open the sealed bag, the fresh, green, and juicy aroma trapped inside the fruit bursts forth all at once. To capture this aroma, the fruits are slowly macerated in low-proof rice spirits and then distilled. The resulting spirit is colorless, transparent, and dry. Yet it offers a deep aroma reminiscent of fully ripe olives, along with subtle nutty nuances.

This bottle captures a new charm of olives, distinct from that of olive oil. While it’s certainly enjoyable to savor the aroma slowly when sipped neat, it’s also recommended for cocktails such as martinis or as an accent to desserts.
