1984 Outstanding

Honkoku Barley Shochu Main ingredients: Domestic barley malt: Rice malt Alcohol content: 38%


Sommelier's comment

Although the unprocessed sake has an alcohol content of 38%, you will be surprised at how sweet it is when you first taste it. Due to the ultra-long aging process, the richness of the original sake changes into richness and aroma, giving it a mellow taste.


Brewed by: Prefecture Sake Brewery

Founded in 1923 Taragi Town, Kuma District, Kumamoto Prefecture

``Kuma Shochu'', which has been recognized as a geographical indication worldwide, is characterized by the use of rice, which is more expensive than other shochu raw materials. An outstanding sake brewery that was founded relatively young in the 500-year history of Kuma shochu. This young brewery once took on the challenge of producing barley shochu by atmospheric distillation. That young soul is now resurrected after 35 years.
