About Ougon-chi Ingredients

Umeshu: A liqueur made by soaking plums in distilled liquors such as white liquor, shochu, and brandy. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and even those who do not like alcohol can enjoy drinking it like juice.

Cherry liqueur: Cherries are soaked in brandy or other spirits to give them a cherry flavor. The sweet and sour taste is different from that of berries.

Blue Curacao: White curacao colored blue. It is used in a variety of cocktails, including tropical ones.

Ginger ale: Carbonated beverage with ginger. It has a pungent taste characteristic of ginger. Dry is spicy with little sweetness and a strong ginger flavor. Dry ginger ale, made from dried ginger, is sweet.

Gold powder (edible): Using gold leaf in cocktails makes them look glamorous and gorgeous.
