This premium strawberry liqueur is produced only in limited quantities around December each winter. Its popularity is so overwhelming in Japan that bottles are often sold out instantly, and despite being released for two years, many fans haven’t even had the chance to try it—or even realize that Hōō Biden makes such an exceptional strawberry liqueur. This is your opportunity: share it with your dearest friends or loved ones and celebrate the festive season together!

Pouring into a glass, you’ll see a gentle, creamy pink color. On the nose, there’s a burst of fresh strawberry aroma, as if you’re holding a glass of freshly pressed strawberry juice. The palate is thick and luxurious, with a hint of crispness from the strawberry seeds. Rich, sweet strawberry flavors fill the mouth, accented by a subtle creamy note and just a touch of sweetness. The finish brings a slight alcohol sensation—just enough to stop you from finishing the whole bottle in one go!

The sweetness is masterfully balanced: not overly sugary, but made fuller by the real fruit pulp and that light creamy character. The combination results in an authentic dessert wine. With its charming pink hue and vibrant fruitiness, this bottle is a perfect match for Christmas and other festive occasions—which is why it disappears from shelves every year almost instantly.

The unique brewing technique used here is a patented method exclusive to Hōō Biden. Much like molecular gastronomy, the essence of strawberry pulp is extracted and infused into their ginjō sake base. No need to crush the fruit—the liqueur is already bursting with elegant strawberry sweetness. The addition of fresh strawberry purée only amplifies the flavor.

Of course, the cost of such freshness is strict storage and a short shelf life: it must be refrigerated at all times and enjoyed within two months of bottling. But when it comes to great drinks, a few hurdles are worth overcoming!

Hōō Biden’s range of fruit liqueurs is renowned for their pure, vibrant flavors—faithfully capturing the essence of fresh fruit. Anyone who has tried them will surely agree.
