Kibuncha Kombucha – 2nd Tasting Event
Iiyama-made kombucha for your autumn table
Good with food. Good with drinks, too.
Kibuncha, a kombucha brand made right here in Iiyama, is holding its second tasting event.
This time the theme is “pairing.”
Try it straight, topped up with soda or hot water, or as a mixer. You’ll be surprised how much the same bottle changes with the way you drink it.
Never tried kombucha before? You’re very welcome. Even a few minutes is fine, so drop by while you’re shopping at the roadside station.
*No alcohol is served at the venue. Mixing with alcohol is a suggestion for enjoying at home.
What is kombucha?
Kombucha is a non-alcoholic drink made by fermenting tea.
Kibuncha is rooibos-based, with a gentle acidity and a clean, refreshing taste. It’s low in sweetness, so the finish is light and it doesn’t get in the way of a meal — for people who drink alcohol and people who don’t.
For restaurants, cafés and retailers
Kibuncha works as a non-alcoholic menu item or as a cocktail base.
If you’re interested in serving or stocking it, please feel free to talk to us on the day.
