Ikkomon Aka Imo Shochu - 500ml
Ikkomon Aka Imo Shochu is a true Honkaku imo-shochu crafted from Beni Satsuma red sweet potatoes grown in Kagoshima. Shochu made with this red sweet potato variety is renowned for its sweet flavour and floral aroma. While many imo-shochu are distilled with rice koji, Ikkomon Aka is brewed entirely with Beni Satsuma sweet potatoes from start to finish and distilled only once.
The result is an authentic imo-shochu that beautifully showcases the richness of sweet potatoes. On the nose and palate, it offers a harmonious blend of soft, savoury, and comforting flavours, including hints of lightly roasted rye, caraway, butter lettuce, baked apple, and warming spices.
Serving suggestions: Enjoy slightly chilled, at room temperature, or warm to enhance its savoury characteristics.
