Something New. Something Old.

For centuries, Japan has celebrated the delicate art of fruit liqueurs — from the rich, plum sweetness of Umeshu to the bright, citrusy character of Yuzushu.

We wanted to bring those ancient flavours to a new home.

Our Japanese Liqueurs take inspiration from these traditional Japanese drinks, but are made right here in South Africa, using locally sourced ingredients and our own approach to craft and flavour.

sweet ᐧ complex ᐧ delicious

Made here. Inspired by Japan.

  • Ancient Japanese flavours, reimagined with local South African ingredients.
  • Not your usual liqueur. Bright, complex and seriously easy to enjoy.
  • Pour it over ice, mix it into a cocktail, or open a bottle when friends come over.

A taste of Japan. Made here.
