Zhu Ye Qing Liquor (Bamboo Leaf Wine)
鮮やかなエメラルドグリーン！心も体も癒やす「竹の薬膳酒」
Description
A traditional health liqueur based on Shanxi's famous 'Fenjiu', infused with bamboo leaves, amomum, sandalwood, dried tangerine peel, goji, and rock sugar. Though highly alcoholic at 45% ABV, it has a beautiful yellow-green color, herbal coolness, and syrupy sweetness, making it dangerously easy to drink.
