Product
This shochu is made from Miyazaki-grown "Murasaki Masari" purple sweet potatoes cultivated as green plant-based fertilizer and brewed with domestically produced rice using white koji. It features a vibrant aroma and gentle sweetness, with glossy berry-like notes, fruity sweetness from the purple sweet potato, and the natural umami of the tuber. The flavor is rich and full-bodied, expanding in the mouth with a soft, smooth finish. Mild and easy to drink without sharpness or strong aftertaste, it offers enough depth to complement meals as an ideal drinking companion.
