Discerning fans of IG Kuma Shōchū say that it has the "taste of nostalgia".
The second fermentation of this shōchū uses yellow koji which gives it a special sweetness.
Aromatic notes are surprising: puffed rice, butter candy and sake, dried mushrooms (porcini, sarcodon imbricatus), hay, fermented apple, Norman apple wine, cereals, woody and spicy accents, young hazelnuts, crystal touches.
Yellow koji gives this shōchū a complex mouthfeel, with a slight bitterness, touches of absinthe, gin, then again notes of dried mushrooms, maple and licorice light accents.
This connoisseur's shōchū, with complex tertiary smoky notes and an intensely persistent, beautiful finish, can be consumed at room temperature or over ice.
The label and box designs are by Keisuke SERIZAWA, a Japanese designer who was named as National Living Treasure of Japan in 1956.

ROKUCHOSHI SHUZOThe name, "Kuma Shochu", is a leading international trademark recognized by the World Trade Organization (WTO) as having a geographical indication of place of origin.
Rokuchoshi Shuzo boasts over a century of history (Taisho era, early 1900s).
It is well known for its high quality aged shochu.
In making its rice shochu, it uses products from its rich soil, namely rice grown in the vicinity and groundwater from Kumagawa River.
Rokuchoshi Shuzo was the first distillery to install a Genatsu still, and maintains the same traditional method of making shochu, based on normal pressure distillation and long maturation.
Mr. Ikebe, distillery President, during a trip to the Scottish Highlands, was able to verify that climate in this region (temperature and hygrometry) was similar to that of the region where his distillery is located. After visiting many whisky makers in the Highlands, he understood that he could age his shochu in the same way.
Therefore, he equipped the top floor of his distillery with a special temperature and humidity-controlled room, adding air-conditioning for the hot summer months, to protect the precious casks from mold and rapid deterioration.
Rokuchoshi Shuzo uses only new wooden barrels.
Shochu made by the normal pressure method, or atmospheric pressure, evolves in maturation. It seems that time, long maturation, causes very complex chemical reactions.
