The star of "bleutiful" aperitifs! An aperitif crafted through the maceration of green anise, star anise, and licorice, inspired by the blue skies of Provence and the Mediterranean. Provence is the only place in the world where the aperitif combines the sea, gastronomy, and the art of living with sport, thanks to pétanque. The aperitif thus becomes a unique moment that brings together friends and family, where several generations gather to share convivial moments enriched by the charm Marcel Pagnol has accustomed us to.

Etsu is one of the first Japanese gins on the market. Etsu means "PLEASURE" in Japanese. This gin was developed by the Asahikawa distillery in Hokkaido, following the story of an ancestral Asian recipe that requires various herbs, spices, and citrus fruits, some of which can only be found in Asia (berries, peppers, citrus fruits...). The distinctive feature of Etsu gin lies in the persistent presence of orange and yuzu peels, the latter being a yellow citrus fruit very popular in Asia.
