Liqueurs
Wakayama prefecture’s land is about 81% mountainous, and it has an even, temperate climate. These conditions are ideal for the careful raising of fruit trees, and so it is one of Japan’s leading producers of ume plum, persimmon, and hassaku oranges, among others. Here, we offer liqueurs made with Wakayama fruit, full of the natural blessings of our local climate.
