Authentic Imo Shochu - Sosogu 1800ml
【Authentic Imo Shochu Rai】
A classic imo shochu that embraces the "earthy potato" aroma of yesteryear.
This is a special limited-edition imo shochu, with only 1,000 bottles produced, crafted by Uezono Shuzo, a small distillery in Satsuma Town, Kagoshima Prefecture. It is made from high-quality Koganesengan sweet potatoes, fermented with white koji, and then the owner himself meticulously selects the best tank of the year for bottling.
Using natural water from Mt. Shibio, the highest peak in Northern Satsuma, this shochu deliberately foregoes modern drinkability in favor of pursuing a classic flavor that cherishes the "earthy potato" aroma of the past.
With a slight cloudiness from rough filtration, it offers a powerful potato aroma, rich umami, and a blossoming sweetness.
When served with hot water, the umami flavor becomes even more pronounced, making it a satisfying drink.
