Sweet, ripe mango meets the tangy freshness of umeshu and the richness of milk in this dessert-like liqueur. The bright sweetness comes first, followed by a soft waft of plum, and the umeshu's acidity keeps the creamy, juicy body nicely in balance. Serve over crushed ice or on the rocks, garnished with berries and mint.

About the distillery

Kenjou was established in 1983 in Fukuoka's Mii district as a joint venture between two sake breweries, to specialise in shochu and liqueurs. It is a small operation of just over a dozen staff that pays close attention to raw materials and koji-making.

マンゴーの甘みにミルクと梅酒の酸味がマッチして他にはないフレッシュで美味しいマンゴーの梅酒ができました。さわやかな甘味を楽しんだ後に、ふわりと梅の香りが残ります。

ミルキーでジューシーな濃厚さにさっぱりと梅酒がプラスされ、程よく味が締まっています。
