How it is made

Maceration with estate-grown raspberry at the centre

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

01

Cold-macerating estate-grown raspberry

Gentle extraction protects the fruit’s aroma and acidity from heat.

02

Shaping the fruit with beet sugar

Sweetness is added without pushing the fruit’s acidity and aroma into the background.

The result

Concentrated, yet lifted by fruit acidity

The depth of estate-grown raspberry remains vivid, with acidity keeping the sweetness composed.

Taste profile

Estate-grown raspberry aroma, deep fruit and clean acidity

Estate-grown raspberry aroma, deep fruit and clean acidity

Ripe estate-grown raspberry opens generously, followed by concentrated fruit, with bright acidity keeping the finish clean.

Food affinities

Built around the bright acidity of estate-grown raspberry

The food affinities of KANEGASAKI Creme de Framboise carry no official recommendation from the producer either. They are organised around the raspberry aroma drawn out by cold maceration, and a bright acidity, in four directions.

Raspberry acidity meeting the delicacy of white fishSillago tempura, yam thua phu (winged bean salad), pear and gorgonzola salad. The acidity of raspberry tightens the delicate character of white fish and beans.
The apple base echoed in apple dishesPork simmered with apple, gaeng om (sour clear broth), roast duck with apple compote. The apple character carried by the base spirit runs in the same direction as apple-based or sour-braised dishes.
Concentrated fruit meeting a berry-close aromaDuck breast with roasted nuts, laab pet (duck laab), chicken rillettes with berry confiture. The concentrated fruit character echoes the roasted note of nuts and berry-topped dishes.
A bright acidity meeting fresh startersKombu-cured white fish, yam pla muek (herbed squid salad), caprese. The bright acidity meets the salt and acidity of fresh starters.

Food-pairing science notes that raspberry aromatics tend to overlap with apple- and pear-family fruit, and with the roasted character of nuts. The apple character carried by the base spirit was used as an additional cue in organising all four directions.
