Sake and Shochu Gumi


Ikekame Shuzo is relatively new to shochu-making in comparison to their sake-making history of nearly 150 years. President Kamachi says, “We aim to create shochu that expresses the characteristics of the ingredients and the local climate” and for this bottle, Fukuoka barley is used. The result is a shochu with a buttery texture and notes of toast and chocolate with a cinnamony, burnt sugar tail.
