<\/a><\/p>\nThe key ingredient is maturing in a barrel [Enma] (barley shochu)<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nThe first one is Enma, a barley shochu!
\nThe bright red label gives it a mellower mouthfeel and deeper flavor than one would expect from its bright red label.
\nIt is the maturation process that creates it.
\nAfter being prepared as a raw sake, Enma is aged in white oak casks for at least three years before it is released to the market.
\nThat rich flavor is nurtured during that aging process.
\nIt is an amazing sake that has now won the Monde Selection top gold medal for eight consecutive years, from 2010 to 2017!<\/p>\n
Mitake\" (sweet potato shochu) born in a World Heritage site<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe next shochu to be introduced is the sweet potato shochu Mitake!
\nIn fact, I first encountered this Mitake sake when I visited Yakushima on my first solo trip during the summer vacation of my senior year of college.
\nMitake, brewed with natural water from Yakushima Island, which has been selected as a World Heritage site, has an exceptionally clear flavor.
\nIt is easy to drink, yet has an aromatic sweetpotato aroma. It is the best sweetpotato shochu liqueur!<\/p>\n
Enchanting Ginjo Aroma [Torikai] (Rice Shochu)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nHere it is! It is a rice shochu called \"Torikai\".
\nIt is probably one of the most popular rice shochu, and is probably one of the most popular shochu among rice shochu.
\nIts flavor is soft and rich, and could be described as a fruity ginjo sake.
\nThis easy-to-drink shochu is perfect for first-time drinkers!<\/p>\n
Nurtured by Amami Oshima Island and music [RENTO] (brown sugar shochu)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe brown sugar shochu called \"Rento\" is made on Amami-Oshima Island, an unusual name, don't you think?
\nIn fact, this sake is made using a unique process called \"acoustic aging,\" in which music is played during the production process.
\nThe name seems to be derived from the musical term \"Lento,\" meaning \"gently, slowly,\" as it is aged \"slowly\" by applying sound vibrations.
\nThis shochu has a mild and rich aroma.<\/p>\n
Commonly known as Zankuro [Zanpa Black] (Awamori)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nAwamori \"Zanami Black\" has long been known by the nickname \"Zankuro.
\nIt is widely loved in its hometown of Okinawa, and is characterized by its crisp, thick taste that is inherent to black malted rice.
\nThe brewery is a long-established business founded in 1948, and has many local fans based on the philosophy of making sake that people love.
\nIt has a good balance between a mellow aroma and a robust flavor, making it easy to drink for first-timers!<\/p>\n
