Kuro Kirishima Shochu is a traditional Japanese shochu from the renowned Kirishima Shuzo brewery. This distillery, which has been based in Miyazaki Prefecture since 1916, is one of the best-known producers of shochu in Japan. Only high-quality Kogane Sengan sweet potatoes are used to produce this fine distillate, which are fermented in combination with black koji. This special koji not only gives the shochu its name, but also a particularly deep and complex aroma.
With an alcohol content of 25% by volume, Kuro Kirishima Shochu offers an excellent balance between fruitiness, sweetness and subtle spiciness. The special thing about this shochu is its velvety texture and harmonious taste, which is achieved through gentle distillation. Maturation in high-quality tanks ensures that the aromas develop perfectly, resulting in a profound yet accessible spirit. Whether for experienced shochu lovers or beginners, Kuro Kirishima offers a versatile taste experience that can be enjoyed in a variety of drinking styles. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
The Shochu is clear and pure in the glass. The nose already reveals fruity nuances of melon, citrus fruits and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey. A soft, round texture unfolds on the palate with a subtle, earthy note of sweet potato, accompanied by a hint of roasted nuts. The slight spiciness from the black koji adds depth. The finish is dry, smooth and lingering, with a slight echo of melon and a subtle, pleasant warmth.
It can be enjoyed neat, on ice (Rokku), with water (Mizuwari) or with hot water (Oyuwari), allowing different facets of its aromas to unfold. It is particularly popular in combination with savory dishes, as it wonderfully complements the umami notes of food. It goes perfectly with grilled meat, hearty stews, tempura or miso-based dishes. This shochu is also ideal as a base for cocktails. Combined with lemon juice, ginger or soda, it creates refreshing drinks that bring out its fruity and spicy notes wonderfully.
