Description

This bottle is the result of a collaboration between the Mitsutake brewery and the manga Fist of the North Star . The bottles feature the likeness of the hero Kenshiro, whose famous line "You're already dead" is written in Japanese.

This shochu derives its aromatic intensity from the sweet potato variety used, "Kogane Sengan," grown in Kagoshima, which enhances the smoothness of the koji. While shochu is traditionally made with white koji, this shochu is fermented with black koji. Black koji is more potent and allows for the production of rich and complex spirits. The combination of the roundness of the black koji and the sweetness of the sweet potato results in a particularly smooth shochu.
