Tasting Notes: This light and smooth shochu displays intense aromatics reminiscent of Noguchi Institute's Ginjo sake, and the palate retains a gentle rice-derived flavor laden with fruit and spice, ending in a robust and reverberant finish that allows the drinker to enjoy the sake-like notes without any distinctive sweetness.

Enjoy neat in a grappa glass, chilled, on the rocks, or in the mixed drink of your choice. Indeed, the institute suggests to blend white wine and Sakekasu Shochu at an 8:2 ratio, or to combine sparkling water and their shochu at 8:2 and add a squeeze of Japanese citrus such as sudachi, kabosu or yuzu, or even to add sansho pepper sprout to make a luxurious Japanese-style mojito.

Size: 720ml
