Product
Hanadori shochu is an extremely rare distillate that rarely leaves southern Japan.
Made from 83% beni-imo purple yams, 17% koji rice
Consists of just 1% of the entire distillation run and taken entirely from the heads, the result is a highly aromatic and densely flavored spirit, kaleidoscopic and bright in flavor.
Dense and bright, packed with flavors of tropical fruits and berries.
Ideally kept in the freezer and poured extremely cold to keep flavors and aromas concentrated.
One of Japan’s most iconoclastic shochu distillers, Junpei Kanemaru makes entirely “handmade” shochu without the use of any modern machinery or equipment.
About Kodama
One of Japan’s most iconoclastic shochu distillers, Junpei Kanemaru makes shochu the old fashioned way, eschewing modern machinery for hands on methods. His shochu is some of the very few fully hand crafted shochu being produced today. Coming from five generations of shochu makers, his family distillery was acquired when he was in school. Not to be deterred, Kanemaru found a defunct distillery dating back to the 19th century that still had a hard-to-get distilling license, and restarted the Kanemaru tradition of shochu making. A bit of a maverick, instead of depth and funk his sweet potato shochu is delicate and rewards the patient drinker with subtle tropical notes.
