À propos de cet ingrédient
Rice-based honkaku shōchū produced exclusively in the Kuma region of Kumamoto. One of Japan's GI-protected honkaku shōchū origins (alongside Kagoshima imo, Iki mugi, Ryukyu awamori, the existing batch entries). 28+ Kuma distilleries operate in this small region, all distilling rice with kome-koji starter. Distinguished by characteristic floral, light profile from the rice base. Distinct from existing shōchū entries (imo, mugi, soba) and awamori-extract.
