THE JAPANESE BITTERS Umami

The Japanese Bitters are the first locally produced aromatic bitters made with only the highest-quality natural ingredients available in Japan. Created by the Japanese bartender Yuki Yamazaki, they embody Japan perfectly. To create the Umami bitter, the process of fermenting Koji (a type of mushroom) had to be clearly grasped. The process gives us miso, soy sauce, sake, vinegar and shochu, among others, and is the source of all those unique flavours found in Japanese cuisine. Umami is one of the five primary Japanese flavours together with salty, sweet, sour and bitter. _x000D_
