【Shochu Nature High-Five】

Born from five essential elements: the future of shochu.

Sweet potato, rice, koji, water, and yeast. "Shochu Nature High-Five" is crafted with meticulous attention to all five elements that define shochu. It uses 100% domestically grown organic rice and organic sweet potatoes.

The shochu is produced by Oishi Shuzo, the first shochu distillery in Kagoshima Prefecture to receive organic JAS certification. They utilize "off-spec" organic Beniharuka sweet potatoes—the same variety grown for eating, such as for roasted sweet potatoes. Furthermore, they practice a "shochu cycle," where shochu lees are returned to the fields as organic fertilizer for growing more sweet potatoes.

It features the comforting, sweet aroma characteristic of Beniharuka. Beneath its gentle sweetness, a deep, robust umami unfolds.

Enjoy it on the rocks to appreciate the sweetness of the ingredients, with soda for a light, refreshing experience, or mixed with hot water to enjoy its delicate bouquet.

The label features an original design by Danish artist eloq, quietly reflecting the blessings of nature and the future of shochu making.
