Honkaku Rice Shochu
Old Vintage Komoriuta
The name "Komoriuta" means "lullaby" and is derived from "Itsuki Lullaby," a well-known folk song from Itsuki Village in the Hitoyoshi-Kuma region, home to our distillery for over a century.
Using traditional methods, this elegant Rice Shochu is slow-aged in earthenware pots for three years, the porous interior surface imparting a mild sweetness of rice to the finished product.
Komoriuta’s mellow character makes it ideal for someone new to Shochu or those who prefer a gentle flavor.
Its relatively high alcohol content for Shochu 30% ABV makes it an excellent choice as a cocktail base.
