For over 30 years, we have been organically cultivating especially large silvervine fruits in our orchard, which originally grew wild in the Hida mountains.

Compared to common silvervine, our fruits are 3-4 times larger and yield healthy, beautiful blue fruit.

 

-How to Use-

1. Soaking in Shochu
2. For Pets

 

1. Soaking in Shochu

Personally, I often make and use silvervine soaked in shochu.

[Common Recipe]

・White liquor: 1.8L (one sho)

・Silvervine: 500g (to taste)

・Rock sugar: 1kg (to taste, or half)

 

Apparently, there used to be restaurants that would cook and serve silvervine, but now it has become an ingredient known only to a select few.

 

2. For Pets

Recently, dried silvervine fruits have become popular for cats. When dried, silvervine loses about 90% of its weight. 1000g of fresh silvervine can make about 100g of dried silvervine. 

There are many other ways to use it, such as freezing fresh fruit and thawing it as needed. These might be too luxurious treats for cats. Please be careful not to overfeed them!

 

 

About 20 years ago, it was sold at the Takayama morning market as "souvenirs for cats."

We look forward to your orders and reservations!
