PEER — € 19,90
The label — a physical painting
The work
Bronze gold and earth brown, with a green nobody sees until the second sip. Pears are held until they collapse; kombu is steeped at 60°C for six hours; ginger and cracked pepper arrive last and stay longest. Savoury, mineral, quietly strange.
Ingredients
Water, pressed pear, kombu infusion, fresh ginger, black pepper, rice vinegar, live culture.
Serve
Chilled wine glass, no ice, a wide bowl so the kombu can breathe.
