Made with locally grown, pesticide-free Hinohikari rice for the koji rice, Shinya-san says it gives the shochu a rich, mellow flavor with a wide range of depth. Another point of interest of this bottle is that it is aged using the Shitsugi method (similar to Solera), blending old barrels with new ones to create a consistent, complex flavor profile. Shitsugi is traditionally used for awamori, and this is the first time I’m hearing of it being used for an imo shochu. Enjoy the crisp acidity that is a hallmark of white koji, enhanced when warmed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eEarthy minerals, powdered sugar, taffy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stuffed “roll cabbage”, Oysters Rockefeller, a holiday meal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the rocks, oyuwari\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSince 1888, Nakamura have been hand-making their famed shochu with locally grown sweet potatoes. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDistilled in Kagoshima, Japan by Nakamura Shuzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistilled from: Kogane Sengan Sweet potato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV 25% \/ Koji: White \/ Distillation: Atmospheric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: Enamel Tanks for 1 year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e24 oz (720 ml) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nakamura Shuzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43104532660303,"sku":"05-300-0094","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1922\/files\/Gyokuro_Shiro_Imo.jpg?v=1764806321","url":"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/nakamura-gyokuro-shiro-sweet-potato-shochu-btl-720ml","provider":"Umami Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
