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).

This brown sugar shochu is made with rice white koji and vaccum distillation, 'Rento' is named after the Italian musical term, meaning slowly or gently. This brown sugar shochu is matured using a method called onkyo jukusei (acoustic aging), in which certain acoustic vibrations are transmitted to the storage tank to promote aging. Acoustic aging is a method of having shochu age slowly in a cradle with music. Lento is aged for about three months, exposed to classical music by great composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Vivaldi, which is converted into vibrations by the tank-mounted transducer. This Shochu has a mellow & gentle aroma yet rich flavors.

Koji: Unknown

Age: 3 Years in Stainless Steel Tanks

ABV: 25%

Size: 720 ml

In 1991, Sato no Akebono was released as an innovative shochu, made by a special method, known as vacuum distillation. Vacuum distillation is a technique that heats the moromi (fermentation mash) in a pot still under low pressure. With low pressure, the boiling point is lowered. The moromi starts boiling at around 45C (113F), resulting in lighter aromatic compounds in the alcohol being distilled earlier to deliver a light and smoother texture and retaining the flavor of its ingredient. Sato no Akebono has been aged for 3 years in stainless steel tanks.

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.

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.
