Iichiko Saiten

$1.00

Tasting Notes

Crafted specifically for the modern bartender, Iichiko Saiten is a flavorful and rich barley shochu perfect for the global cocktail scene. Sanwa Shurui maximizes the umami and flavors in Iichiko Saiten by using only traditional barley koji, , and tuning the ABV content to a desirable 43%. Saiten's (彩天) name is translated as "colorful heavens/skies" and embodies the colorful and varied expression this shochu imparts on the drinker.

On the nose, Iichiko Saiten is redolent of honeydew melon, white grape, pickled watermelon rind, and kabosu citrus alongside hints of soy, white pepper, and rich nutty barley notes.
