Little Kiss Black Tea Liqueur

Japanese premium tea and coffee liqueur

Little Kiss series brings you premium unique craft made Japanese liqueur - shochu and sake based with tea and coffee flavours! Perfect for people who don't like strong liquor, yet want to enjoy an easy and comfortable drink!

Why “Little Kiss”?

Simply - Little (sho) Kiss (chu).
Little Kiss in Japanese sounds similar to “shochu”!

Due to shochu being often associated with mature, strong tasting, unappealing to the younger audience. The premium qualities of Japan produced shochu are often not fully appreciated.

This was why Higashi Sake Brewery - with over 100 year history in shochu brewing - came up with the Little Kiss series, focusing on flavoured liqueur with shochu base to appeal to a younger audience.

A Shochu series in collaboration with ingredients produced in Kagoshima Prefecture.

The Little Kiss series was created to make shochu more accessible to people, and to make use of the technical capabilities of Higashi Sake Brewery sake brewing.

A feature of the Little Kiss series is that it is easy to drink without the strong taste of alcohol, so that even those who are not good at drinking can comfortably enjoy it.
The aim of the Little Kiss series was to make alcohol more casual, delicious, easy for people to enjoy and give it an elegant finishing taste.

Little Kiss series is expanding its lineup of tea and coffee Liqueur sequentially, in collaboration with ingredients produced in Kagoshima prefecture!

Little Kiss Black Tea Liqueur

This is a black tea-based liquor with a bright amber color.
Using Benifuki tea leaves, cultivated without pesticides from Tokunoshima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture and blended with rice shochu and Akumochizake (black sake).

With the unique blend of domestic black tea, this allows the sweetness and aroma of the black tea to be richer. Little Kiss tea goes well with desserts or light meals.

Specialty of Benifuki tea leaves (cultivated without pesticides) from Tokunoshima Island

Cultivated on Tokunoshima island with a wonderful tropical climate without any pesticides added to the tea leaves. After years of effort, the tea leaves harvested are much thicker which enhances the goodness of the black tea. Benifuki black tea tastes more delicate and gentle, as compared to the common black tea that is more bitter and acidic.

How to enjoy Little Kiss Black Tea Liqueur

Little Kiss Black Tea Liqueur is recommended on the rocks, drinking with soda or milk.

However, our preference is to serve it with ginger ale! It’s really delicious!

Ginger ale with Little Kiss Black Tea Liqueur

Mix Little Kiss Black Tea Liqueur and ginger ale with the ratio of 1:3 or 1:4.
Black tea and ginger go well together, hence this enhances the taste of Little Kiss Black Tea Liqueur!

It can also be enjoyed on top of ice-creams!

*The black tea component may turn cloudy, but there is no problem with its quality.

Reviving Kagoshima's Traditional Local Sake, "Akumochizake"

Akumochizake is a traditional sake brewed with charcoal to enhance its shelf life.
In Kagoshima, it has long been called "jizake" (local sake) and is indispensable for the local dish "sake-zushi”. Commonly used as cooking sake or celebratory sake in the past, but after the war the brewing of Akumochizake ceased.

To not let Kagoshima’s Tradition die out, the founder, Mr Kinai Higashi researched and improved Akumochizake to continue the tradition. Hence, contributing greatly to the food culture of Kagoshima.

Did you know that in the Little Kiss liqueur, Akumochizake is one of the ingredients! So if you are interested in Kagoshima's Traditional Local Sake "Akumochizake" you can start from there!
