Jzaki Filipino Rice Wine

Overview

Jzaki Filipino Rice Wine is a specialty producer and retailer of Filipino rice wine located in Barangay Booy, Tagbilaran City, Bohol. The shop is listed in the provincial tourist-attraction inventory under Shopping — Souvenirs and Delicacies. Rice wine (locally known as tuba when derived from coconut sap, or basi when fermented from rice) is part of the traditional fermented drink culture of the Visayas region. Jzaki’s specific product focuses on the rice wine variant.

The producer operates as Jzaki Enterprises, which markets itself as a maker of Filipino rice wine and lists product listings on the trade platform IFEXConnect (an export/trade-show directory), including at least two confirmed variants: a 200ml Original Flavor — described as a clear, fermented rice wine with “a smooth and slightly sweet taste” and a “delicate aroma” — and a 375ml Honey Flavored variant made with rice and wild pure honey, giving a golden hue and a mild flavor suited to sipping or cocktail mixing. Both are FDA-LTO/CPR certified, sold with no stated expiration date, and listed as export-ready to South Asia, ASEAN/ANZ, East Asia, and the Americas markets, with a minimum wholesale order of 24 bottles. Jzaki Enterprises also lists a pastillas (milk-sugar candy) product on the same trade platform, indicating some product diversification beyond rice wine.

What to Expect

A producer-retailer of Filipino rice wine operating from Tagbilaran City. Rice wine in the Philippine tradition varies by region — grain type, fermentation vessel, aging period, and additional ingredients (like bark or herbs) affect flavor profile. As a listed tourism attraction, the shop presumably welcomes visiting buyers looking for local beverages to take as pasalubong (gifts brought home from travel).

[TO ENRICH: tasting available on-site, product range beyond rice wine, packaging suitable for travel or checked luggage]

Notes

• Filipino rice wine as a souvenir and delicacy occupies a niche between mainstream pasalubong (calamay, polvoron, chocolate) and specialty artisan products.
• Nearby Dalareich Chocolate House offers a contrasting local product — combining both stops in a Tagbilaran shopping circuit is practical given their proximity in Barangay Booy and surrounds.
