Houraisen Mikan Liqueur

This mikan liqueur from Ehime Prefecture is made using local unshū mikan, a type of satsuma mandarin known for its sweetness, low acidity, and thin skin. It is best enjoyed chilled and served straight.

Chūbu

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
