Description: The elemental nature of umami eludes any one definition. Originally derived from the flavors created by a single substance—glutamic acid—and named after the Japanese word for delicious, umami has come to embody savory and rich flavor, hinted at by an array of foods and spirits. No one cocktailing component, however, has so keenly focused the character of this particular flavor as The Japanese Bitter Co. Umami Bitters. Undergoing the same long and slow extraction period as the other bitters in the line, Umami Bitters is made from a heady combination of kelp, shiitake mushroom, dried bonito, and yuzu. Use these bitters to bolster the already savory nature of a cocktail, or to add surprising dimension to fruit flavors. 27% ABV
