Comment:

“The inspiration comes out from the word ‘Kitai’ which means ‘hope’ in Japanese. Hope to be able to blend products from different continents: two spirits like BACARDÍ rum and aged saké, an Italian product like honeyed Modena's vinegar, Ibiza's Salt and Hibiscus.... a trip around the world!”
