Kitayama Village, known as Japan’s only enclave, is a nature-rich hidden gem surrounded by the mountains of Kumano, with a population of just 500. In this small village, a rare citrus fruit called “jabara” grows wild around local homes. The name “jabara” comes from the phrase “to ward off evil.” Jabara’s aroma, intense acidity, and slight bitterness create a unique flavor unlike any other citrus.

The fruit liqueur “Wakayama Jabara” uses jabara from Wakayama. It offers a crisp acidity with a hint of sweetness, and the distinctive bitterness and aroma of jabara create an addictive taste. Enjoy the refreshing fruitiness along with the flavors of white wine.
