About "Ryusei no Osake"

"Ryusei no Osake" is a fruit liqueur developed with the image of shooting stars. It features the sweet aroma of berries, said to drift in space, and the citrusy tang that rushes like a meteor. It will be released via crowdfunding starting on the night of July 7th, Tanabata.

Attractions of "Ryusei no Osake"

A deep and mystical aroma reminiscent of space

It is said that space has a sweet and sour aroma like berries due to the presence of a component called "ethyl formate" in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. "Ryusei no Osake" was developed inspired by this scent of space. It is characterized by a rich floral and berry aroma, with an elegant scent that gently wafts through the nose when the alcohol is taken into the mouth and after swallowing. With this lingering aroma, we aimed for a mystical taste that evokes the vastness of space.

A thrilling sweet and sour taste that feels like a fleeting sparkle

A refreshing aroma rises the moment it is poured into a glass. From the first sip, a sharp acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits rushes through the mouth, allowing you to experience a stimulation like a fleeting shooting star. This acidity expresses the sparkle of a star that splits the night sky. It can be enjoyed more refreshingly by mixing it with soda water.

A romantic sweet aftertaste where the star's trajectory fills your heart

Immediately after the sharp acidity of the first sip, a fresh and juicy sweetness spreads. A soft fruitiness reminiscent of Muscat grapes gradually emerges from behind the sourness. We focused on the speed of flavor change during development. You can enjoy a gentle aftertaste, like the night sky after a shooting star has passed.
