Japanese Shochu

A hidden gem of Japan that is even more consumed than Sake domestically, Japanese Shochu is usually a Single Distilled (in a Pot Still) spirit that uses the traditional Koji fermentation techniques to showcase the flavours of the underlying ingredient such as Imo (Sweet Potato), Mugi (Barley) or Kome (Rice). An excellent companion with a variety of cuisine, Japanese Shochu can be enjoyed in different ways, straight up, on the rocks, Mizuwari (with water), Sodawari ( with sparkling water) or even Oyuwari (with hot water). No additives are permitted to qualify as a Honkaku Shochu (Authentic).

Definitely not to be confused with Sake (a fermented/brewed drink like wine) or with Korean Soju (a multiple distilled neutral spirit to which flavourings may be added).

33483032658059

Region: Kagosima, Japan

Distillery: Okubo Shuzo

Distillation Method: Atmospheric

Koji: Rice Black Koji

Age: NAS

ABV: 25%

Size: 300 ml / 720 ml / 1800 ml

Made with a variety of sweet potato including “Genji-imo” variety, combined with special breed of rice from the SAMURAI ERA. From 7g of rice seeds, it’s bred for the first time after 154 years.

Slightly sweet, floral, crisp and delicately spicy palate with a deep umami aroma and a complexity that stays in the mouth for long. Yet it remains very gentle, easy to drink and can be enjoyed straight or on the rocks. We would also recommend Oyuwari (i.e. with hot water) which enhances the aroma and flavours. Pairs perfectly with fried fish and meat, spicy food but also with some sweet desserts.

Awarded HKIWSC Silver 2018, HKIWSC Bronze 2019 and Los Angeles International Spirits Competition 2018 Silver.

Koji: Sweet Potato Koji

Age: NAS

ABV: 26%

Size: 720 ml / 1800 ml

This incredibly unique and fruity Shochu, very appropriately named after their Toji/Master Distiller – Mr. Nobuhisa Yasuda was first released in 2013. Using unique methods to make a 100% Imo Shochu using Sweet Potato ("Imo") as the main ingredient and Imo Koji - from Tsurunashigenji Imo, creates a more aromatic and fruity Shochu compared to the usual rice ("Kome") koji.

Sweet and rich aroma of fruits on the nose (some obvious lychee, hints of peach and perhaps some strawberries). Delicate, fruity, smooth and balanced while retaining the flavours of sweet potato on the palate with a warming finish, some dark chocolate bitterness and a very pleasant after taste. Chill the bottle and serve straight up or on the rocks. Pairs perfectly with a variety of food.

Satsuma "Masari" Imo (Sweet Potato) and Shiro Kome Koji (White Rice Yumetoiro from Kirishima) are fermented with "Kagoshima fragrance Yeast #1" to produce intense flavour compounds oils, esters and aroma. This mash is then vacuum distilled (in contrast to the usual atmospheric distillation) to preserve some of these clean and unique flavors. Isoamyl acetate is a component that leads to an aroma of banana and melon, and " Cool Mint Green " is characterized by showing a considerably higher value of this component than the normal Imo Shochu. Distillation method: Vacuum distillation

A very tropical drink with fruity notes of banana and dairy cream/yogurt, red berries which should be enjoyed with sparkling water.
