Description

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

This shochu draws its aromatic power from the sweet potato variety used, the "Kogane Sengan" produced in Kagoshima, which enhances the softness of the koji. While shochu is traditionally made with white koji, this shochu is fermented with black koji. Black koji is more powerful and produces rich, deep alcohols. The combination of the roundness of black koji and the sweetness of sweet potato results in a particularly smooth shochu.


Alcohol content: 25°

Flavor

A slightly syrupy texture with a roundness characteristic of black koji and sweet potato.
