Satoyama Coffee x Sanaburi Distillery in Oga, Akita Collaborate to Launch Luxurious Coffee Liqueur 'SANABURI LIQUEUR Coffee prototype06', Born from Two Roasts and Two Extraction Methods

SANABURI Inc. (Oga City, Akita; CEO: Shota Saito), which operates the Sanaburi Distillery manufacturing spirits from sake lees in Oga City, Akita Prefecture, has launched its new product, 'SANABURI LIQUEUR Coffee prototype06', on February 19th. https://sanaburi.co.jp/shop/172/

This product is a collaboration with "Satoyama Coffee" (https://satoyamacoffee.com/), a coffee roaster based in Oga, led by Katsunao Onishi. By using single-origin Ethiopian coffee beans in both light and dark roasts and combining two extraction methods, distillation and infusion, a coffee liqueur that offers both a fruity aroma and deep richness has been created.

Development Background: A Sincere Approach to Coffee Born from a Relationship of Trust Since the Distillery's Opening

"Satoyama Coffee" has been a partner of the Sanaburi Distillery since its opening. They have continuously collaborated, such as developing and providing the distillery's original coffee blend and using coffee beans in the spirit "SANABURI GIN prototype02" (https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000002.000156284.html). This time, they have deepened their relationship further, leading to the development of a coffee liqueur.

"Satoyama Coffee" is a specialty coffee shop where owner Katsunao Onishi travels to Ethiopia himself to trade directly with coffee farmers. They are also actively involved in sustainable coffee production, such as improving farmers' income through direct trade and using beans grown with agroforestry (a farming method with low impact on the forest).
