Kuredo Mori Authentic Imo Shochu, Oak Barrel Aged, 1800ml
[Authentic Sweet Potato Shochu Kuredo Mori Oak Barrel Aged]
A bottle that embodies "conviction" with a sweet aftertaste.
A new shochu world view, themed on "returning the favor."
This is the first limited-edition shochu in the "Kuredo Series."
"Kuredo Mori Alc. 25%" is the first step in the "KEND SHOCHU WORLD" project, which will be built over a 15-year plan.
Currently, we have fully launched our own sweet potato cultivation and are also beginning to cultivate rice for koji.
The challenge of creating a new shochu culture has begun, returning to the origin of "shochu made from the earth."
This product is a special blend created by repeatedly blending and tasting sweet potato shochu aged in oak barrels with authentic sweet potato shochu made with "Satsuma Masari."
The soft vanilla aroma from the barrel and the sweet, rich umami of sweet potato from Satsuma Masari intertwine, creating an exquisite balance that prioritizes "flavor perfection" rather than an overly strong aroma.
When mixed with soda, it offers a refreshing and rich flavor, while on the rocks, you can leisurely enjoy its sweet depth and the lingering finish from the barrel.
"Ku" (九) signifies longevity, "Rei" (礼) means returning the favor, "Do" (土) represents the origin, and "credo" (クレド) means conviction.
"Mori" (モリ) is named after the idea of "memento mori" and the forest of oak trees that produce the barrels.
This is not merely a barrel-aged shochu, but a bottle that serves as the "origin" of the story that is about to unfold.
