This refreshing shochu, with its dry, elegant aroma and light taste, complements any dish and allows ingredients flavors to express themselves. Nose is elegant, mineral, expressing softness and light sweetness, with accents of white fruit, peach, pear, young quince and banana.

For cocktail lovers, it makes an excellent base and can be mixed with your favorite drinks. It is particularly recommended as a low-calorie alternative to vodka in cocktails. This shochu can be enjoyed on the rocks, mixed with water or in a highball (a mixture of shochu and soda).
Hakutake Shiro is a very popular brand of rice shochu in Japan. Although it was temporarily ranked second due to the impact of COVID-19 and reduced sales in many restaurants, it is now on the road to recovery and could once again become the number one brand.
Rice used to make Hakutake Shiro shochu is Hinohikari and Koshihikari, Japan's tastiest. These rices are grown mainly in Kumamoto and Fukuoka prefectures.
Unlike Japanese sake, rice shochu requires use of delicious rice. In sake production, oil and protein contained in rice grains have an unpleasant taste, which is why rice that does not contain much oil or protein is used, and rice is polished. In rice shochu production, on the other hand, oil and protein are essential to produce delicious rice shochu by distillation.
