Product details
Okunomatsu Tororingo Apple Sake is a distinctive liqueur crafted by Okunomatsu Sake Brewery, a venerable establishment in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 1716, the brewery seamlessly blends centuries-old sake-making traditions with innovative techniques to create unique beverages. Tororingo exemplifies this fusion by combining their special-grade junmai sake with freshly pressed juice from fully ripened apples sourced from Aomori Prefecture, Japan's premier apple-producing region. This meticulous blending process results in a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity, offering a refreshing and smooth drinking experience.
Upon tasting, Tororingo presents a delightful medley of flavors reminiscent of biting into a crisp Fuji apple, with its natural sweetness complemented by a subtle tartness. The junmai sake base imparts a gentle rice undertone, enhancing the fruit's vibrant profile. With an alcohol content of 7.2%, this liqueur is light and approachable, making it an excellent choice for those new to sake or fruit-infused beverages. Best enjoyed chilled or over ice, Tororingo pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, fresh fruits, or soft cheeses, and also serves as a delightful aperitif to cleanse the palate before a meal.
