A thick and rich liqueur for a burst of summer at any time of year. Serve Tatenokawa Kodakara Mango Liqueur over ice or drizzled over yoghurt and ice cream as a quick dessert.
Tatenokawa Kodakara Mango Liqueur is crafted using a huge amount of Alphonso Mango (widely considered the monarch of mangos) shochu (a Japanese distilled spirit) made with the lees (spent yeast) from sake making then just a little fructose and honey for sweetness and a wee twist of acidifier for tang. The result is pure pleasure with the sweetness perfectly complementing the richness of the mango. And it tastes how we imagine sunbeams might.
If you’re worried about how to use it fear not because we have a whole stack of ideas. Firstly the addition of shochu protects this liqueur once opened so there’s no rush to consume it once you’ve twisted that cap off just keep it in the fridge and it will last for several weeks. Then you’re free to get creative with it. Serve it chilled or on the rocks and it works equally well as an aperitif or as a dessert wine alternative. Pour it over sorbet or vanilla ice cream; top it with soda or tonic to create a long and refreshing summer drink; add a splash to a glass of sparkling wine to create a wonderful mango spritz; or serve it alongside a tropical fruit cheesecake. You’ll soon wonder how you lived without it.
Tatenokawa (meaning “Castle Brook”) is a sake producer with a long and illustrious history going back almost two hundred years. What we love about them is that they don’t get bogged down in all that tradition though leaving them free to innovate and spread the word of sake culture throughout the world. So expect a very modern style of sake aimed at a younger audience and also one or two very exciting celebrity collaborations. Located in Sakata City Tatenokawa was the first brewery in Yamagata Prefecture to make only Junmai Daiginjo – the most refined kind of sake. They focus on locally grown rice and particularly one called Dewasansan a sake-specific rice that creates complex slightly sweet and wonderfully aromatic flavours that remind us of top-quality Pinot Gris.
