Umami Mart Gift Guide

HAMA NO IMOTA
SWEET POTATO SHOCHU

The LA Times calls this shochu, "a profoundly aromatic sweet potato shochu," and it certainly is! Smooth with hints of mineral, Hama no Imota is rich on the palate. The fragrances go wild when served with hot water. 

CHIYONOSONO 8000 GENERATIONS
RICE SHOCHU

Chiyonosono, a sake brewery, recently released this shochu, 8000 Generations, in the U.S. Made with rice grown on their land in Kumamoto prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu, Chiyonosono's sakes are clean and fragrant and their shochu is no different. With hints of melon and apples, enjoy 8000 Generations on the rocks or in cocktails. 

FACETED ROCKS CUPS

These sturdy, wide-mouthed, ceramic cups are made in Japan for enjoying shochu on-the-rocks. The faceted base allows for an easy grip, not to mention adds an element of modernity. The earthy glaze has a slight sheen while being slightly textured for a pleasurable mouthfeel.

These cups come in three handsome shades: SnowMineral, and Wheat.

DORAKU SHOCHU ROCKS GLASS

Enjoy a shochu on the rocks (or any cocktail for that matter) in our tinted, golden-hued Doraku Shochu Rocks Glass. The tapered mouth allows for maximum enjoyment of aromas emanating from a fragrant shochu. This glass perfectly accommodates one spherical ice ball and has a nice hefty weight.
