This blended sweet potato shochu is made by blending the raw distillate from two different batches. One batch was made in 2016 from black koji rice and Miyazaki Beni sweet potatoes grown in Miyazaki Prefecture. The other was made in 2019 from white koji rice and Tama Akane sweet potatoes grown in Kagoshima Prefecture. This collaboration between two master brewer-distillers is uncommon in the shochu world. In fact, blending in general is not done by most distilleries. As the name implies, this shochu is colorful on the nose and palate.

About Shoro Distillery
Shoro Distillery is situated about as far south in Miyazaki Prefecture as you can go before ending up in the Pacific Ocean or going west over the mountains into Kagoshima. This remote location means that the team at Shoro Distillery have to be fiercely independent. So much so that they perform their own still maintenance and repairs, which is extremely rare for a distillery this size (read: small). Unlike many shochu distilleries, sell their spirits very young, Shoro puts a great deal of thought into releasing products when they are at the peak of flavor. This results in a balanced, delicious drink every time..
