Shochu

Made from 100% rice and fermented with Sake yeast - this Shochu smells a bit like Sake and tastes like delicate vodka. Try it in a Chu-hi (short for Shochu Highball): Shochu and club soda and citrus wedge of choice.

Kuro is a Black Koji that gives an earthier heavier flavor to this Shochu. Look for an earthy, buttery, Umami aroma, then a slight molasses plus sweet potato/pumpkin flavor. In winter, this is nice as Oyuwari - cut with hot water. Made from sweet potato.
