“Tensei Hojun Sherry Cask Finish” (42% ABV) is a limited-edition sweet potato shochu from Tensei Shuzo in Kagoshima, crafted from Koganesengan potatoes fermented with black koji and matured for six months in sherry casks. Aromas of vanilla and dried grapes lead to a palate where deep molasses sweetness and a silky texture unfold. The finish offers balanced bitterness and a subtle yoghurt-like tang. Enjoy neat or as a highball to savor its nuanced interplay of sweet, bitter, and umami notes.
