Japanese Shochu, a distilled spirit deeply rooted in Japanese culture, stands as a testament to the country's rich heritage and commitment to meticulous craftsmanship. Unlike its well-known counterpart, sake, Shochu undergoes a unique distillation process that results in a diverse array of flavors, making it a versatile and beloved libation.
Common Key Characteristics of Japanese Shochu:
1. Ingredients: Primarily crafted from a variety of base ingredients such as barley (mugi), sweet potato (imo), rice (kome), or brown sugar (kokuto). Each base imparts distinct characteristics to the final product.
2. Distillation: Typically distilled using pot stills or continuous stills, Japanese Shochu undergoes a careful process that emphasizes precision and skill. The method chosen can significantly influence the spirit's flavour profile.
3. Flavor Profiles: The diverse range of base ingredients contributes to an extensive spectrum of flavors in Shochu. From the earthy notes of barley Shochu to the sweet undertones of sweet potato Shochu, each variety offers a unique and delightful drinking experience.
As a shining example of Japanese Shochu, The Hachi Shochu encapsulates the essence of this revered spirit. Crafted with precision and devotion, it embodies the delicate balance between tradition and innovation, inviting enthusiasts to embark on a journey of refined taste and cultural appreciation.
Whether you are a seasoned Shochu connoisseur or a newcomer to this exquisite spirit, Japanese Shochu invites you to savor the elegance of its flavours, experience the richness of its heritage, and celebrate the artistry that makes it a cherished part of Japanese culture. Kanpai!

Shochu is a distilled spirit and increasingly popular globally, similar to Sake.
This bottling is made by craft distiller Ookubo Shuzo in Kagoshima Japan and was a special bottling for the Tohoku Project made using 2 different sweet potato varieties (Baked Tama Akane and Kogane Sengan) and Ki-Kome Koji (Hitomebore from Miyagi Prefecture) and distilled under atmospheric pressure.
A Honkaku Shochu, the fruitiness is reminiscent of the tropical and citrus fruits derived from Tamaakane, and the pure richness of Kogane Sengan brought together by the special Koji. The roasted sweet potato gives a richer aroma rounded off by the Hitomebore Koji
Recommended way to Drink: While there are many ways to enjoy it we would suggest (i) on the rocks or (ii) with some sparkling soda water to showcase the refreshing fruity flavor or (iii) even with hot water.
