This is a barley shochu is distilled in oak bourbon whiskey barrels, creating a mellow taste and golden color. While the nose is primarily woodsy, the tastes of toasted vanilla and green rye spices are not shy. A beautiful alternative to bourbon, whiskey, or scotch.

Nice solid Sochu

This is a solid Sochu, we tried this with several variations of highballs. The Okinawa method of using coffee -- we added it in an iceball glass with a splash of espresso. Very nice

We tried it was just a smidge of a Vanilla extract that we keep around. Good

We tried it with a splash of cola. Pretty good

Lastly, we tried it with a bit of pepper ume plumb wine to give it a kick. Probably my favorite

Lots of fruits and florals in the base that open up a university of potential combinations. Kamado ginger/garlic scallops with a Sochu Ginger highball was the bomb
