How it is made

Turning rich yogurt into a smooth liqueur

Its character comes from the way the main ingredient meets the base spirit. Two choices are central to the result.

01

Selecting Bocca yogurt

Yogurt from Date, Hokkaido provides density and natural acidity.

02

Blending with neutral spirit

Dairy texture is preserved while sweetness and alcohol are brought into balance.

The result

Richly viscous, refreshed by acidity

Yogurt acidity lifts the dairy sweetness and keeps it from feeling too heavy.

Taste profile

The palate is rich and smooth; acidity rises through the sweetness and brightens the finish.

Food affinities

Four directions guided by yogurt’s richness and acidity

Food affinities for Yoguru Yoguru Yogurt are not a pairing the producer has presented officially, but a reading drawn from the characteristics recorded on this page. The dense richness and natural acidity of yogurt from Date, Hokkaido, run through the four directions below.

Dairy richness meeting a matching textureSilken tofu dressed in a sesame-miso sauce (shira-ae), a Thai coconut pumpkin custard (sangkaya fak thong), a burrata cheese salad. The dense, smooth richness of dairy meets dishes with an equally smooth texture.
Yogurt’s acidity lightening richnessJapanese breaded pork cutlet (tonkatsu), Thai fried chicken (gai tod), fried calamari. The lively acidity of yogurt lightens the richness of fried food and brightens the finish.
Dairy-derived aroma meeting fermented dishesPickled daikon and cucumber in sake lees (narazuke), a Thai fermented pork sausage (naem), a salad with blue cheese dressing. Fermented flavours on both sides run in the same direction and draw each other out.
A bright finish meeting a light dessertAmanatsu citrus sorbet, mango pudding, a lemon tart. The bright finish created as acidity lifts sweetness meets desserts carrying their own light acidity.

The pairing of a drink and a dish is generally guided by structure — sweetness, acidity and texture — more than by aroma. Yogurt’s richness, balanced against the acidity that rises through its sweetness, sets the structural direction for the four pairings above.
