A refined rice shochu from Japan’s SG Shochu project, crafted in collaboration with Takahashi Distillery in Kumamoto and designed to highlight a clean, aromatic “ginjo” style expression. It opens with lifted notes of green apple, pineapple, citrus peel, and soft floral tones, underscored by a subtle rice sweetness.
Light in texture yet expressive in aroma, it shows gentle tropical fruit and orchard character supported by a quiet lactic softness and a touch of grainy depth. The spirit is distilled under reduced pressure to preserve delicacy, giving it a polished, almost sake-like aromatic profile while remaining distinctly dry and structured. The overall impression is pure, fragrant, and versatile, equally suited to sipping or mixing.
