Regular price
$40.00
This is a Shochu Gumi selection! It was featured in June 2022: "Iki: Barley Shochu Island".
Ikinokura is a conglomerate of six breweries on Iki island that banded together to start one distillery. Since 1984, they have been making this crisp, yet smoky shochu which embodies the Iki shochu style.
Due to the 2:1 ratio of barley to rice koji, what you get is an exuberant drink that is full of notes like toasted grain, cream, and licorice. Get honey and butter on the nose when enjoyed oyuwari. We liked this on the rocks alongside a simple panzanella salad or tatsuta-age (fried chicken).
