The eye-catching bottle inspired by the beautiful night sky of Oku Noto is popular as a souvenir or gift.
It is a bottle that leads to sponsorship of reconstruction donations and is a chain of kindness.
The craft gin "Noto Jin Wishing Star" in the Oku-Noto area is a wish for disaster recovery.
Made with blueberries from Noto Town and seaweed from Suzu City, it has a deep and mellow taste with a long aftertaste.
With a gentle and pale blueberry aroma and a botanical balance,
It expresses a taste that fills you with happiness.
It is so popular that it is also called "an ally of working office workers" for women who want to enjoy gin slowly with a glass.
After work, I want to go home and relax at home and enjoy a relaxing time.
The taste and aroma are perfect for your wishes. And beautiful bottle design.
It is also popular as a gift and as a pleasing item.
Since the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024, the people of Oku Noto have been forced to have a hard time.
In the midst of many inconveniences in the absence of water, to everyone who continues to live while helping each other somehow.
I created "Noto Jin Wishing Star" in order to make you feel better in some way.
As a product concept, the first is
In order to experience the disaster of the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024 and promote the revitalization of the Noto region,
He wants to produce a new gin with a message of encouragement.
The second is to connect with local stars and planetariums, which are proud of the local area, and lead to the promotion of tourism in the region.
And third, I want to arouse interest in Noto even more by using Oku Noto's specialty products for botanicals.
That's what it was.
The Noto region originally had clear air and a small population, so there were few artificial lights.
You can see a lot of stars at night.
And in Noto Town, there is a magnificent observatory facility, the star observation hall "Mantensei".
There is a very large and beautiful planetarium there.
Just now, the semicircular logo on the front of the bottle of Noto gin,
I was able to compare it to a planetarium and a starry sky.
And the fruit of blueberries, which are key botanicals, has a star-shaped stem.
I realized that blueberries and starry skies are the best motifs to express Noto.
Therefore, the subname "Wishing Star" was added to show hope for the revitalization of the Noto area.
The botanicals used were all 8 weeks
・Juniper berries
・Cardamom seeds
・Coriander seeds
・Licorice route
To
・Blueberry branches (from Noto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture)
・Naturally dried seaweed (produced in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture)
・Laurel branch (from Noto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture)
・Yuzu peel (produced in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture)
I matched it.
Blueberry branches are dried and processed from a large number of branches that come out after pruning in winter or spring.
The laurel branches were dried and processed from the branches left after using the leaves in the tonic of gin and gin.
Yuzu is made from leftover yuzu at home in Suzu City.
Suzu's natural seaweed is a very valuable native seaweed in Japan.
The natural seaweed harvested in Suzu is so delicious that even fishermen in Wajima say, "Suzu is the best seaweed."
From spring to summer, the natural seaweed on the table is exquisite, and the dried seaweed is delicious enough to be eaten as it is.
Natural seaweed is only 2-3% domestically produced, and the sea in Japan, where seaweed is caught, is now very valuable.
The Terake area of Suzu City, where Susu Shrine is located, is a seaweed production area.
A tsunami hit there this year.
Many people were affected, and the harvest was about 10% of the previous year.
I often went to the sea in the Teraya area by car or bicycle from the first time I came to Suzu.
It was a calm and beautiful sea that I loved.
My heart aches every time I see the changed town.
By adopting seaweed, I would like to occasionally remember the beautiful sea of Suzu and Okunoto.
Such a wish is included.
Of course, it also had a very good effect on the taste and aroma.
The impression given by seaweed is that saliva spreads in your mouth rather than the aroma.
Thanks to this, the fun of stacking glasses was born.
The scent of the gin wishing star is three-dimensional.
The first scent is the top note, the middle note spreads in the mouth, and the last note remains on the tongue and throat.
By changing the parts of the plant, you can build a multi-layered fragrance.
Moreover, the use of licorice root gives it a long aftertaste with a sweet taste.
To enjoy this characteristic aroma,
・While tasting slowly on the rocks
・While enjoying the scent straight
And the style of relaxing at home is perfect.
Of course
・Soda or tonic is delicious,
With a powerful body and a long-lasting aftertaste,
・Cocktail base
It can also be used.
In particular, you can enjoy it deliciously when paired with citrus juices and liqueurs.
This bottle is a bottle that you should enjoy without being bound by preconceived notions.
For those who don't usually drink gin, women, and those who enjoy gin for the first time,
It is a popular bottle that can be recommended.
