Hokkaido Yogurt Liqueur 720ml
Made by Kitaoka Brewery / Kitaoka Honten using fresh dairy from Bocca Farm in Hokkaido — Japan's cold northern island and home of its finest milk — this liqueur takes the clean, lactic richness of premium yogurt and turns it into something you want to pour over ice at 10pm.
The profile is plush and silky, with just enough acidity to keep it from feeling heavy. Think dessert in a glass: sweet without being cloying, creamy without being thick, and with a finish that stays clean and refreshing rather than lingering too long.
At 7% ABV, it sits in a lighter, more approachable style — easy to recommend and easy to gift.

Why We Like It
- Creamy and silky — dairy richness without heaviness
- Easy-drinking at 7% ABV — accessible for all palates
- Made with real Hokkaido dairy, not artificial yogurt flavouring

How to Serve
Shake well then serve chilled straight from the fridge, or pour over ice for a slightly longer, slower drink. The cold temperature sharpens the tang and keeps the texture silky.
Food Pairing
- Fresh strawberries or stone fruit
- Soft cheesecake or panna cotta
- Light sponge desserts
- Salty snacks for contrast
Serve cold. Let the balance shine.
