The Kuro Kirishima Shochu is a traditional Japanese sweet potato shochu (Imo Shochu) with an alcohol content of 25% by volume, which is offered in a classic bottle. Produced by the renowned Kirishima Shuzo distillery in Miyazaki on Kyushu, this shochu is considered one of Japan's most popular imo shochu - appreciated for its harmonious balance of depth, softness and earthy aroma.
The special feature of this bottling is the use of kuro koji (black noble mold) for the fermentation process, which gives the distillate a full-bodied taste with a fine umami note. The basic ingredients are Japanese sweet potatoes and rice, which provide the characteristic flavor profile with an earthy tone, mild sweetness and elegant minerality.
Thanks to its high quality and accessibility, Kuro Kirishima is a classic among shochu spirits both in Japan and internationally, which is just as convincing on its own as it is in classic drinking variations.
Note: This product was originally intended for the American market. The actual and taxed content is therefore 750ml. (automated translation)
