Authentic potato shochu, raw liquor main ingredient: Golden Senkan, Koji: Rice malt, Alcohol content: 35%


Sommelier's comments

Although it is a standard brewing method using locally grown sweet potato "Kogane Senkan" and white koji, the long aging of the shochu has given it a mellow flavor. The smell of the new shochu has disappeared, giving it a gentle, floral taste. Please enjoy the delicate flavor.
