1 Aonagi Farm Mint Non-Alcoholic Mojito
A non-alcoholic mojito generously using mint grown on our farm.
Instead of sugar syrup, honey syrup is used to add a moderate richness to the refreshing taste. It's a drink that can be enjoyed easily without becoming tiring, even on hot days, and is perfect for those who don't drink alcohol.
Price: 1,650 yen (tax included)
2 Ehime Citrus Fizz
A mocktail made with syrup from Ehime Prefecture citrus fruits and carbonated water.
Served with homemade dried lemon and fresh mint, it offers a refreshing scent reminiscent of the Setouchi region and the gentle sweetness of citrus.
Price: 1,650 yen (tax included)
3 Milk Clarified Paloma
A drink made with tequila, pink grapefruit, and lime, clarified using the "milk clarifying" technique to remove impurities.
While transparent, it delivers the refreshing taste of citrus and the full flavor of tequila. It has a smooth mouthfeel and gently complements the lingering flavors of kaiseki cuisine and pairings.
Price: 2,200 yen (tax included)
