About "Kinmokusei no Hachimitsushu"
"Kinmokusei no Hachimitsushu" is a mead made with the flowers of osmanthus. Edible osmanthus flowers, carefully sorted by hand, are added to the mead, giving the drink a delicate, gorgeous scent. With the flowers of osmanthus, a symbol of autumn, sealed inside, the drink invites a special moment of gazing at the beautiful blossoms while savoring the taste — one that gently fills the heart.
The Appeal of "Kinmokusei no Hachimitsushu"
"Kinmokusei no Hachimitsushu" uses domestic acacia honey, chosen for its gentle sweetness and mild flavor that lets the delicate scent of the osmanthus flowers come through. The honey's refined sweetness blends beautifully with the gorgeous fragrance of the osmanthus, adding a mellow richness and depth without overpowering the flower's flavor.
