The piercing cold has completely gone, and the cheerful temperatures continue, making it truly spring.
As spring arrives, bringing new beginnings and farewells, wouldn't you want to spend important times with good sake?
It's already a regular event: KURAND's media-limited new product tasting event.
This time, I tried 6 flavors from the "Suihyo" series!
Tasting 6 Flavors from the "Suihyo" Series!
What I tasted this time was...
- Suihyo -CROWN MELON-
- Suihyo -Hatsukoi no Kaori-
- Suihyo -Arakawa no Momo-
- Suihyo -RUBY GRAPEFRUIT-
- Suihyo -SHINE MUSCAT-
- Suihyo -YONASHI-
...these 6 types!
The colorful packaging combined with the roundish bottles gives them a cuteness that makes you want to pick them up.
Moreover, this Suihyo series is designed to be chilled below freezing and enjoyed as a shot, and they're said not to freeze even if put in the freezer!
What kind of texture could it possibly have...?
Suihyo -CROWN MELON-
- Genre: Fruit Liqueur
- Alcohol Content: 30%
- Manufacturer: Japan Juice Co., Ltd. (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture)
- Sales Price: 6,900 yen (tax included)
"Suihyo -CROWN MELON-" is a fruit liqueur that fully captures the "Crown Melon," said to have the highest quality among muskmelons, for an enjoyment of the elegant sweetness and luxurious melon aroma.
Japan Juice Co., Ltd., a juice manufacturer, is particular about the "taste of fresh melon" and uses unpasteurized (unheated) fruit puree, as well as a sugar solution extracted from the rind and seeds, capturing the rich melon aroma.
This time, YouTuber and influencer Fujii Yodan (@MTNRFG) participated with us.
When I heard it was 'liqueur with such a high alcohol content that it won't freeze even if put in the freezer,' I thought it might have a strong, stimulating taste like tequila. But that wasn't the case at all, and from the first sip, a sweet, delightful taste like a complete dessert spread throughout my mouth.
I want to drink it as a chilled reward shot on a summer night; it feels like something everyone should have.
Suihyo -Hatsukoi no Kaori-
- Genre: Fruit Liqueur
- Alcohol Content: 30%
- Manufacturer: Japan Juice Co., Ltd. (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture)
- Sales Price: 6,900 yen (tax included)
Next is "Suihyo -Hatsukoi no Kaori-," a liqueur made from the mysterious white strawberry variety called "Hatsukoi no Kaori," which ripens to a white color.
It offers the mild taste with little acidity and the refreshing, pleasant acidity of "Hatsukoi no Kaori" strawberries.
The scent alone already reminds me of first love.
You can taste the 'raw' sweet and sourness of strawberries. It's sweet and sour, and somehow I feel a slight bitterness too.
Is this...first love...?
Fujii Yodan finished the shot while thinking of a sweet and sour first love and appealed about something.
Let's wash away the truth with sake.
Suihyo -Arakawa no Momo-
- Genre: Fruit Liqueur
- Alcohol Content: 30%
- Manufacturer: Japan Juice Co., Ltd. (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture)
- Sales Price: 6,900 yen (tax included)
Next up is "Suihyo -Arakawa no Momo-."
At "Hakki Farm" in northern Wakayama Prefecture, they cultivate "Arakawa Peaches," which are the foundation of this liqueur's flavor, using traditional methods passed down since the Edo period.
"Suihyo -Arakawa no Momo-," which uses raw brand peach puree, candied peach paste, and a rich syrup extracted from peaches, capturing their taste and aroma, generously packs the original taste of peaches, reproducing fragrant "fresh white peaches."
It is a liqueur with a gorgeous aroma and a bursting juiciness that spreads in your mouth.
You can perfectly taste the freshness of peaches.
By putting it in the freezer, the liqueur has become thick, and I felt a texture very similar to actually eating a peach.
Right now, I'm eating a peach, not drinking a liqueur. It creates that illusion.
Suihyo -RUBY GRAPEFRUIT-
- Genre: Fruit Liqueur
- Alcohol Content: 30%
- Manufacturer: Japan Juice Co., Ltd. (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture)
- Sales Price: 6,900 yen (tax included)
"Suihyo -RUBY GRAPEFRUIT-" is currently available for lottery sale from Monday, April 23, 2025, until 1:00 PM on Wednesday, May 7.
Customers who apply from the special page and are selected will have their orders shipped sequentially after Wednesday, May 7.
Enjoy the freshness of grapefruit!
Among grapefruits, they use "Star Ruby," known for its strong sweetness, deep bitterness, and lustrous ruby-colored pulp color.
It's advertised as a supreme bottle that fully captures the refreshing aroma and bursting juiciness in a liqueur.
You can taste the refreshing acidity you feel when you eat grapefruit, passing through your throat, just as it is.
It's a combination I personally like, citrus and liqueur, and you can really taste the juiciness, making it delicious!
The sourness of grapefruit is also well reproduced!
Suihyo -SHINE MUSCAT-
- Genre: Fruit Liqueur
- Alcohol Content: 30%
- Manufacturer: Japan Juice Co., Ltd. (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture)
- Sales Price: 6,900 yen (tax included)
"Suihyo -SHINE MUSCAT-" is a liqueur developed to highlight numerous charms like being refreshing, juicy, and its rich sweetness, from "Shine Muscat," which is popular as a high-class fruit and dubbed the Queen of Grapes.
Reproducing the freshness and sweetness of Shine Muscat!
To replicate the "raw" taste of the ingredients, unheated puree is used, and by adding syrup extracted from Shine Muscat, capturing its taste and aroma, the richness is enhanced!
It is finished as a "Shine Muscat liqueur loved by everyone," offering both great taste and appealing presentation.
It's sweet and refreshing, easy to drink.
It feels like a classic 'delicious liqueur,' and the alcohol goes down smoothly.
Honestly, I'm already getting drunk, but it's so delicious that I can still drink it. I can drink at least 5 more cups.
Fujii Yodan, whose mouth corners keep going up as he gets drunk.
This smile is surely a simple emotion of Happy to drink lots of sake!
Suihyo -YONASHI-
- Genre: Fruit Liqueur
- Alcohol Content: 30%
- Manufacturer: Japan Juice Co., Ltd. (Kyoto Prefecture)
- Sales Price: 6,900 yen (tax included)
"Suihyo -Yonashi-" is a liqueur that uses "Le Lectier" from Niigata Prefecture, also called the "Legendary Pear," allowing you to enjoy a gorgeous and luxurious aroma, as well as the juicy sweetness characteristic of pears, at a premium level.
It is said that to replicate the "raw" taste of Le Lectier in the liqueur, they used Le Lectier puree to delicately express the subtle flavors, elegant and gorgeous aroma, and gentle sweetness.
The freshness is just like the pear itself. The sweet and elegant taste spreads throughout the mouth just as it is.
Just like the others, I was able to drink it comfortably even though the alcohol content is high. The chilled and thick Suihyo series are all the best desserts. Thank you!
