Murao
"Murao" is a sweet potato shochu brewed in a small distillery nestled in the mountains of Satsumasendai City. Along with "Mori Izo" and "Maou," it is counted as one of the '3M' premium shochus that are notoriously difficult to obtain—truly a legendary bottle. Murao Shuzo is an established distillery with a history dating back to the 35th year of the Meiji era. By adhering to traditional clay pot fermentation and relying on a very small team for handmade production, large-scale manufacturing is impossible. This is precisely what makes it such a rare existence. Using harvested sweet potatoes, the spirit is slowly aged in clay pots. A powerful yet mellow flavor, reminiscent of roasted sweet potatoes, spreads across the palate, featuring concentrated umami and richness. It is a glass of Murao, known as a phantom brew, that you should truly savor if you ever have the chance to encounter it.
