Every June, the hydrangeas near my office stand still in the rain in their bright blue attire.
The sky is always cloudy at this time of year, so I am even more attracted to its colors.
Across the rice paddies from there was another hydrangea, this time a bright reddish purple. I don't know when I first learned that the soil changes color, it must have been a long time ago, but it was only a few years ago that I learned about butterfly peas, which have a similar color change.
Yes, that's why Umeda will be reporting this time on the June Limited Edition, a zine with butterfly peas.
Since the first year YASO was launched, it has been released at the beginning of summer, so I personally feel that summer is here! This gin makes me personally feel that summer is here!
By mixing it with tonic water, the blue color changes to reddish purple, which is visually pleasing.
The color changes with the acidity of the splitting agent, so it maintains its blue color when mixed with carbonated water.
It is also a nice, beautiful color.
The contents of the product include more juniper berries than usual (twice as much as in our company). (2 times more than our company's standard).
It combines juniper berries lightly ground in a mortar and macerated in base spirits for 24 hours.
In addition, some ingredients are placed in baskets placed in the path of the steam to add aroma, but the timing of adding the ingredients is slightly different than usual.
Immersing the butterfly peas adds color, but slightly changes the nuances of the flavor, so the previously mentioned content is adjusted to give it more body than usual.
Our distillation team thought that the use of butterfly peas came from Detective Conan's "Crusty Tea Party," but ...... it is not.
The inspiration for making gin came from the character's gin in Detective Conan, lol.
In this rainy season, why not brighten up the inside of your glass?
The release date is Saturday, June 11.
Please note that we are changing the release date in June to coincide with World Zine Day.
On June 11, we will also participate in a toast relay at the installation live.
If you have time, why don't you toast with us?
