'Kajitsu-shu' Fruit Wine Workshop
Thank you for coming to make Zakuro Shu (pomegranite liquor) with us and we are especially grateful to Aki Henderson for sharing her warmth, knowledge, and skills.
Your Okawa Glass jar should now be resting somewhere cool and dark while the flavours infuse with the liquor, ready to enjoy in time for Christmas!
If you’d like to try at home here are Aki's simple recipes:
