So what you get is a kokuto shochu that tastes closely to its ingredients: black sugar and koji, with lingering oils that remain, instead of being filtered out as it usually is for shochu and spirits. This results in rich umami and mouthfeel. Blending is done in the solera style, making it hard to determine the age of these shochus, but indeed, the hue and depth of flavor point to aging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stonefruit, unsweetened cocoa powder, Haitian rum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Japanified Chinese dishes like Bang Bang Chicken and Hoi Ko Ro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rocks, Kawasaki-san recommends oyuwari!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCocktail\u003c\/strong\u003e: Passion Fruit Mojito (5 Mint leaves, 3oz Yayoi Aroka, 1oz Lemon Juice,\u003cbr\u003e0.5oz Passion Fruit Syrup)\u003cbr\u003eMuddle a generous amount of mint in a glass.
