Saga Barley Shochu

Handcrafted in the traditional way this classic shochu is single distilled from tasty Japanese two-rowed barley black koji rice and the pure famous waters of Black Hair Mountain (Kurokami-yama). At 70 proof it is more concentrated like shochus of old to enhance the subtle complexities body and finish. 35% ABV TASTING NOTES: Delicate earthy lively delicious. Floral sake-like aroma with notes of banana bread and fresh grains. Buttery texture. Drinks like a young whisky with hints of ripe melon and vanilla custard. DRINKING SUGGESTIONS: Enjoyed best on the rocks with a single large ice (you can try with a slice of cucumber). Or enjoy as a highball topped with soda water and garnished cucumber slices. We also suggest mixing with fresh ruby red grapefruit juice and a splash of soda or mixing with iced green teas.
