NEKKA

NEKKA is a premium rice shochu from Nekka LLC (Okuaizu Distillery) in Tadami, Minamiaizu, Fukushima. The standard NEKKA 25 expresses the brand’s “distilled ginjo” style in a way that is approachable as a food-first spirit: it is made from JGAP-certified rice, uses dedicated ginjo-style yeast developed in Fukushima, ferments for about 25 days, and is distilled under ultra-low vacuum conditions at or below 30°C to preserve delicate aroma components. The profile shows bright fruity notes, clean rice sweetness, and a crisp finish that supports both straight and highball-style service.

Culinary affinity: Its clean, bright profile and subtle rice umami pair with sushi, grilled seafood, lightly seasoned poultry, seaweed-forward dishes, and Thai preparations with herbs or mild spice. It also suits warm-water or fizzy serving styles where aroma can be layered without overpowering food.
