Crafted from super-sweet Beniharuka potatoes grown in the fertile soil of the Goto Islands, this shochu spends time in both oak and sherry casks to bring extra depth to its aroma and flavors. Mixed with soda, its mellow, full-bodied fragrance and refined taste pair well fried dishes and rich foods. As a bonus for beer and wine licensees in states like CA and NY, this 23% ABV shochu makes a great base for cocktails (imo shochu mojito, anyone?).
