Product details
Oka Brand Japanese Bermutto is an innovative and captivating reimagining of the classic vermouth, crafted with a sake base and infused with Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. Produced by the Tsutsumi Distillery in Kumamoto Prefecture, this unique aperitivo combines Junmai sake, 100% rice-based shochu, and four carefully selected Japanese botanicals: yomogi (Japanese mugwort), yuzu, kabosu (a tart citrus), and sansho peppercorn. The result is a harmonious blend of flavors, balancing fruity brightness, earthy depth, and a touch of spice, offering a distinctly Japanese take on a timeless classic.
On the nose, Bermutto reveals a vibrant bouquet of grapefruit, peach, guava, lavender, and plum, complemented by the rich, yeasty notes of its sake base. The palate is equally complex, with the creamy rice and faint plum flavors of sake underscored by the zing of yuzu, the warmth of sansho peppercorn, and the herbal, earthy undertones of yomogi. Versatile and dynamic, Oka Brand Bermutto can be enjoyed as a refreshing addition to cocktails, a replacement for dry vermouth or sherry, or simply served in a Sonic highball with soda water and tonic. Perfectly balancing tradition and innovation, this sake-based vermouth opens up a world of new possibilities for cocktail enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
