Tea liqueur
Infusing black-tea aroma into rice shochu
Its character comes from the way the main ingredient meets the base spirit. Two choices are central to the result.
Selecting Benifuki tea
Tokunoshima leaves bring a soft, fragrant black-tea character.
Infusing into rice shochu
Tea aroma and gentle grip are extracted, then rounded with sweetness.
Fragrant tea without excessive grip
The clarity of rice shochu supports the tea and leaves lightness after the sweetness.
Black-tea aroma, refined sweetness and light grip
Fragrant tea opens into rounded sweetness; bitterness and tannin stay gentle, leaving a light finish.
Dishes that layer onto black tea’s aroma
LITTLE KISS Tea Liqueur steeps Tokunoshima-grown benifuuki black tea in kome shochu. The pairings below are not an official recommendation from the producer, but a reading based on the flavor characteristics recorded on this page.
Following the shared-aroma-compound idea in The Science of Food Pairing (summary), this reading pairs benifuuki’s floral tea aroma with desserts built on tea leaf aroma. The way its light tannin resonates with gently bitter ingredients follows the bitterness axis described in Logical Pairing.
