Marunishi Whimsical Dragonfly 1800ml
[Marunishi Whimsical Wind Dragonfly]
A barley masterpiece created by a whimsical brewer
This shochu was made under the banner of barley shochu by Marunishi, a sweet potato shochu maker.
By finishing it using atmospheric distillation, we are able to fully bring out the original flavor of the barley.
This shochu has a rich fragrance and a unique character that is hard to describe.
This is a masterpiece created by a truly whimsical master brewer who boasts that "the changes in flavor are a sign of human nature" as he prepares it every year.
Located southeast of Marunishi Sake Brewery is the Fugendo Spring, a water source that was selected as one of the 100 best waters of the Heisei era.
The water is used for everything from irrigating rice fields to cold springs at local health spas, and is beloved as an essential part of people's lives.
The water source is home to 38 species of dragonflies, including the smallest dragonfly in Japan, the Red-veined Dragonfly.
This barley shochu is made by replacing the water beloved by people with the dragonflies that live there, and is imbued with the desire to be a shochu brewery that can express itself freely, flying around as freely as dragonflies.
