Japanese Shochu

A hidden gem of Japan that is even more consumed than Sake domestically, Japanese Shochu is usually a Single Distilled (in a Pot Still) spirit that uses the traditional Koji fermentation techniques to showcase the flavours of the underlying ingredient such as Imo (Sweet Potato), Mugi (Barley) or Kome (Rice). An excellent companion with a variety of cuisine, Japanese Shochu can be enjoyed in different ways, straight up, on the rocks, Mizuwari (with water), Sodawari ( with sparkling water) or even Oyuwari (with hot water). No additives are permitted to qualify as a Honkaku Shochu (Authentic).

Definitely not to be confused with Sake (a fermented/brewed drink like wine) or with Korean Soju (a multiple distilled neutral spirit to which flavourings may be added).

THE HACHI SHOCHU, Rice (KOME KASU), Cask Matured is a collaboration with Nakamoto Sake Brewery Co.,Ltd, located in Nara, Japan and with a history dating back to 1727. Traditionally producing Junmai, Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Daiginjo the fermentation rice mash that remains after after the Sake has been pressed out from the Moromi is called Kome Kasu aka Sake Kasu. A usual by-product of the Sake brewing process with an ABV of about 8-13% the Kasu is then single distilled (making it a Honkaku Shochu) under vacuum pressure to retain the flavours of the underlying ingredient KOME (Rice) and then matured for about 8 years in a Refill Virgin Oak Cask to add layers of complexity to the original spirit. Come and enjoy this special bottling with Hacchan.

Color: Very Light Straw/Pale Yellow. Nose: A sweet aroma of freshly cooked Japanese rice, mochi cream, fresh green apple, tropical fruits such as melon, guava, banana with undertones of honeycomb and grapefruit. Palate: Initial sweetness, fresh vanilla, honey reminding us of the oak maturation balanced with fresh apricots, sour plums and dark chocolate to finish. Reminiscent of a fruity and dry sake. The flavours of KOME (Rice) are very much present along with the additional layers of flavours from cask maturation.

Recommended way to Drink: Straight Up, On the Rocks or as a Highball (3 parts of sparkling water to 1 part The Hachi Shochu).
