Distiller Notes
Ochiai Distillery, founded in 1909, specializes in 'Imo' sweet potato shochu. The sweet potatoes are sourced from one designated farm that only uses plant-based fertilizers, producing crop with low moisture content. Shochu made from these firm, dense sweet potatoes are smooth to the palate and have a deep taste.
Any craft spirit enthusiast will enjoy sipping on Rihei Ginger, and it is also excellent in a wide range of classic and modern cocktails.
Due to a secondary process known as distillation, spirits have a much higher level of alcohol than fermented drinks like wine or beer. Distilling removes water and other impurities, leaving only alcohol and the essence, or spirit, behind.
