About This Product :
The Ingredients: An otsu-rui type (single-distillation) shochu using rice, white koji, and fresh river water as the sole ingredients. The shochu is aged for 6 months in stainless steel tanks. 25% ABV
The Spirit: The #1 selling premium rice shochu in Japan – Hakutake Shiro Kome Shochu – is clean and easy with an elegant aroma and a soft mouthfeel. Takahashi Shuzo makes it with water from the Hitoyoshi basin, which is high in minerals, and flavorful rice. Makes a perfect low-calorie vodka replacement in cocktails.
The Distillery: Takahashi Shuzo, established in Meiji 33 (1900) does not make your run-of-the-mill Kome Shochu. They believe their Shochu carries the tradition and flavors of 400 years, and they are recognized as the standard of all Kumamoto Shochu, which is the center of Japan for Kome Shochu. Using only the most carefully selected rice, clean Kumamoto water, and their own capable hands and traditions, they work to create the best Kome Shochu possible.
