WHITE GRAPE AND HERB CORDIAL SYRUP

We left before dawn and our staff, Kishi-kun and Mikogami-kun, drove to Yamagata and brought back a ton of grapes from Yamagata. It was already getting dark when we returned.

The next day, we invited volunteers and helpers to help us make wine. The grapes were piled up one by one by everyone's hands in the barrels. When removing the stems, it is important not to put in grapes that have even the slightest bit popped or damaged, as this will cause the fermentation to start too quickly.

I picked up a bunch and carefully removed them, inspecting them carefully, but to me, even the removed berries are fine ingredients. I immediately began making syrup.

The mild and gentle flavor has a slightly sharp aroma. The addition of plenty of citrus-scented herbs creates a refreshing profile.

Within about two days from the field, the grapes were quickly packed into various locations within the distillery.

In addition to mixing it with carbonated water, we also recommend drinking it over ice, slowly melting it. Adding fresh lemon-based herbs will bring out the aroma even more.

We left before dawn and our staff, Kishi and Mikogami, drove to Yamagata to bring us a ton of grapes from Yamagata. It was already late in the day when we returned.

The next day, a large group of volunteers and helpers were invited to prepare the wine. The grapes were stacked one by one in the barrels by the hands of everyone. When de-stemming the grapes, it is important not to put in grapes that have burst or are damaged in any way, as this will cause the grapes to ferment too quickly.

I pick up a bunch of berries and carefully check them to remove them, but for me, the burst berries are also a great ingredient. I immediately set about making the syrup.

I wanted to add a little sharpness to the mild, gentle flavor. I added plenty of citrus-scented herbs to create a refreshing profile.

In about two days, counting from the vineyard, the grapes were quickly stored in various places in the distillery.

We recommend drinking it with soda water or slowly melting it with ice. Garnish with fresh lemon herbs to enhance the aroma.
