We have made a trial set of the popular "honey drink".
It is recommended for those who want to compare what it tastes like at once.
It is an additive-free "diluted type" juice born from domestic fruit juice and honey carefully selected by apiaries. The natural flavor of the fruit is complemented by the mild sweetness of the honey.
You can enjoy it with cold water, hot water, or carbonated water.
[Yuzu Mitsu]
Honey drink number 1 in popularity! The refreshing yuzu aroma and the balance of bitterness and acidity are exquisite.
The juice of domestic yuzu harvested while waiting for it to ripen on the tree is rolled with the skin!
This is an additive-free and fragrance-free honey drink made with acacia honey that Kanazawa Yamagishi Apiary is particular about.
It uses "tree-ripe" yuzu, which has the most flavor.
As yuzu ripens, it stores sweetness, aroma, and a unique bittersweetness in the fruit. Therefore, the harvest is harvested while it is still on the tree and then checked the ripeness of each one by hand. In addition, in order to enhance the flavor, the production area was limited to mountainous areas with severe temperature differences, and we were particular about Shikoku and Kyushu products.
Since the aroma components of yuzu are found in large quantities in the skin, Kanazawa Yamagishi Apiary squeezes yuzu with "whole skin" to bring out the flavor to the fullest. This round squeeze is difficult to apply force, and if you apply too much pressure to find the amount of juice, the skin will become astringent and bitter. From years of experience, we have achieved an exquisite balance of sweetness, aroma and bitterness.
We have carefully selected honey that allows you to feel the delicate flavor of yuzu. We have repeatedly made prototypes with honey from seasonal flowers, and we have selected "Acacia Honey," which has an elegant aroma and a refreshing aftertaste when you put it in your mouth. Please enjoy the refreshing aroma of yuzu and the gentle taste of acacia honey.
[Lemon honey]
Setouchi lemons are squeezed with the peel. The fresh acidity of "Adult Honey Lemon" is exquisite. Domestic lemons harvested in the Seto Inland Sea are characterized by a fresh and rich aroma, a slight bitterness and a refreshing flavor. This honey lemon for adults is a perfect match between Setouchi lemon with a round peel and honey with a mellow and naturally sweet taste. We recommend mixing it with cold water, mixing it with carbonated water for lemon soda, and mixing it with hot water for hot lemonade.
Lemons that are carefully grown on the islands of the Seto Inland Sea boast the largest production volume in Japan. The warm and rainy climate of the Seto Inland Sea is suitable for growing lemons, and lemons with mild acidity and rich aroma can be harvested. By rolling the peel of these Setouchi lemons, it is possible to squeeze the bittersweet and fragrant juice containing the essential oil components of the peel while suppressing the bittersweetness.
The honey used as a raw material was carefully selected by beekeepers to match the fragrant acidity of Setouchi lemon. Please enjoy the refreshing flavor that will make your spine stretch with the acidity of lemon and the mellow sweetness of honey.
[Ginger honey]
A classic ginger that warms the body. Hot water, tea, and carbonated water.
A classic pokapoca drink made with raw ginger juice and honey from Kochi Prefecture. The honey gently envelops the tangy stimulation of ginger.
Ginger and honey go well together in taste and health. Ginger has been used in cooking and herbal medicine since ancient times. In addition, gingerol, a spicy ingredient contained in ginger peel, has the function of promoting blood circulation and warming the body, and the combination of ginger, which is rich in "body popping ingredients", and honey, which is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, is recommended not only in winter but also in summer when the body is cooled by air conditioning.
Taking advantage of the flavor of the ingredients, the sweetness and tanginess blend naturally. The ginger honey from Kanazawa Yamagishi Apiary has an exquisite tangy ginger flavor and honey sweetness. It is mainly ginger from Kochi Prefecture, which is said to be the most delicious in Japan, and is particular about only large ginger, which has a mild spiciness and excellent ginger's unique flavor.
The raw material honey is made from honey from seasonal flowers, and "Acacia Honey" has been selected for its light taste without any peculiarities. Please enjoy the tangy flavor of ginger and the elegant sweetness of acacia.
[Plum mitsu]
The rare variety "Koeiumei" grown only in Fukui Prefecture is hand-pickled in honey one by one.
By slowly aging it at a low temperature, it is finished with a fragrant drink.
Koei plum is named so because the general plum blossom ripens yellow, while the part exposed to the sun is dyed red. In the Meiji era, it was repeatedly improved as a variety that blooms and bears fruit even in snowy Hokuriku regions, and is characterized by small seeds, thick flesh, and a lot of juice.
It is a rare plum with a low yield because the skin is thin and each one must be carefully trimmed by hand.
The pickling work is carefully pickled by all the staff of the apiary. The very perishable red plums are transported directly from the production area to the Kanazawa Yamagishi Apiary, and the pickling process begins immediately after arrival. The stems of the plums are removed by hand one by one and cut in. In addition, in order to pickle it in the best condition, it must be pickled as soon as possible, and on this day alone, all the staff will prepare it.
The raw honey is carefully pickled in honey carefully selected by beekeepers. In order to bring out the delicate flavor and umami of the rare variety Koeiume, we carefully select honey with an elegant aroma and no peculiarities. The temperature is kept at 10°C until pickling so that the flavor of the plum is not missed, and it is slowly aged at a low temperature.
[Mountain grape honey]
The gentle taste of Iwate mountain grape juice and honey carefully selected from the apiary. It is also rich in polyphenols and iron.
You can enjoy the rich sweetness and acidity, and it is perfect for fruit sauces.
Inquiring about Iwate Prefecture, the hometown of mountain grapes In Iwate Kurekuji City, one of the production areas, mountain grapes have been loved for a long time. Wild mountain grapes, which prefer dry and cold regions, bear abundant fruit in the mountains. We asked Mr. Sasaki, who handles everything from cultivation of mountain grapes to juice production.
I grow them on sunny slopes, spacing out trees, and growing them as close to nature as possible. Pesticide-free cultivation for 40 years. Branches are pruned frequently, and everything from harvesting to harvesting is done by hand.
The harvested mountain grapes are transported to the factory while they are still fresh and the juice is squeezed. By squeezing it with the skin, it is rich in nutrients and bright pigments contained in the skin. By the way, the skin, seeds, and branches after squeezing are reused in mountain vineyards as organic fertilizer. After that, it is aged for three years to give it a mellow taste with less astringency. It is a very time-consuming and valuable mountain grape juice.
Domestic mountain grapes are very nutritious. Compared to ordinary grapes, the iron content is about 6.5 times that and the calcium content is about 6 times. In addition, it is rich in vitamin B6, which is good for beautiful skin, polyphenols, anthocyanins, resveratrol, and catechins, which have an unchasing effect. In the past, a doctor in the local area advised pregnant women to drink mountain grape juice. It is full of ingredients that are not only good for pregnant women but also for women.
