Raw material and flavour

A white rum made from Okinawan kokuto is composed with blended katsuobushi supplied through the Motobu Fisheries Cooperative. The ingredient contributes aroma and savoury depth without obscuring the rum's fruit.

KOKUTO DE LEQUIO Smoky Umami Rum sensory profile

Katsuobushi smoke arrives first, followed by fruity kokuto-rum sweetness and a savoury core. The finish is gently sweet and toasted rather than heavy.

SmokeUmamiKokuto fruitToasted finish
How to serve

Let the savoury character meet food and classic cocktails.

Highball

Soda opens the smoke and keeps the rum's fruit precise at the table.

Paper Plane twist

Use its sweet-savoury tension to reframe a bitter aperitivo-style drink.

With umami-rich food

Especially coherent with soy, miso, grilled fish or fish-sauce-led dishes.
