Crafted at Denzo-in Kura in Kagoshima, “Sasshu Damashii” (40% ABV) blends barley shochu matured in white-oak casks with koji-driven umami. Soft vanilla and coconut aromas lead to a silk-smooth palate of toasted grain, cacao nib and a gentle hint of spice, finishing long and mellow. Enjoy neat, on the rocks or as a highball—the sweet, toasty notes blossom with soda. A groundbreaking “borderless” Japanese spirit that bridges shochu heritage with whisky allure.
