Kaede no Shizuku (Maple Droplets)
Born in Sugisawa, a mountain village in Kaneyama Town, Yamagata Prefecture, 'Kaede no Shizuku' is a rare domestic maple syrup. It is produced by slowly simmering the sap of Itaya maple trees. In Sugisawa, there is an old legend known as 'February Weeping Itaya.' It says that if you tap an Itaya maple before the snow melts, sweet sap will drip one drop per second. Collecting enough sap from a single tree is an incredibly laborious task that takes many days. Only after reducing this sap can a single bottle of 'Kaede no Shizuku' finally be completed. Unlike Canadian varieties, it offers a light aroma and a clear, delicate sweetness. When drizzled over pancakes or yogurt, you can experience the full bounty of the forest.
