Description
Shochu is a Japanese spirit. This shochu, made in Ishikawa Prefecture, is the only one distilled from kaga-maruimo, a type of yam. This tuber, resembling a large, black-skinned potato, originates from the city of Nomi. It is highly valued for its sticky texture and high nutritional value. Furthermore, the brewing water used for this shochu is high-quality well water from the Hakusan Mountains. While shochu is traditionally made with white koji, this shochu is fermented with black koji, which has a richer flavor. Alcohol content : 25°
