Tasting Notes: Made with premium quality sweet potatoes and black koji, and best
enjoyed diluted with hot water (oyuwari), as the steam from the hot
water will bring the sweet aroma into play. Full bodied and crisp, this
is a shochu that will almost certainly tempt the palate of any fine
shochu connoisseur.
Distillery: Nishi (founded: 1845)
Believing that good shochu, like a good harvest, is nothing less than a gift from the earth, Nishi Shuzo only uses potatoes and rice grown by local farmers. Additionally the brewery itself is surrounded by mountains, and thus they are blessed with good water.
