Kirschwasser - Kirschwasser (English spelling) German

Japanese: キルシュワッサー - きるしゅわっさー(英語表記)Kirschwasser ドイツ語
Kirschwasser - Kirschwasser (English spelling) German

A distilled liquor made by fermenting cherries. It is also simply called kirsch. Kirsch means cherry, and wasser means water or liquor. Usually small, wild black cherries with a high sugar content are picked and crushed (sometimes the seeds are crushed as well), and water is added and the liquor is fermented. Most are distilled in a single-column still. The quality of kirschwasser improves with storage and aging, but discoloration is undesirable, so porcelain or glass containers are used and it is not packed in barrels. Most are used as an ingredient in the production of liqueurs.

Japanese:

サクランボを発酵させてつくる蒸留酒。単にキルシュともいう。キルシュはサクランボ、ワッサーは水または酒を意味する。通常は小粒で糖分の高い野生種のブラックチェリーを摘み取ってつぶし(種子までつぶすことがある)水を加えて発酵させる。大部分は単式蒸留機で蒸留する。キルシュワッサーは、貯蔵し熟成することにより品質は向上するが、着色を嫌うので、磁器かガラスの容器を使い、樽(たる)詰めはしない。多くはリキュールの製造原料になる。
