Tomino Hosan
'Tomino Hosan' is an imo-shochu brewed by Nishi Shuzo in Hioki City. It is known as an innovative bottle that redefined the previous image of 'imo-shochu being too strong/pungent.' The secret lies in using yellow koji, which is also used in sake production. By fermenting Kogane Senkan potatoes slowly at low temperatures, they develop a mash with 'ginjo' (premium sake) aromas. This results in a fruity and refreshing scent reminiscent of citrus. Its elegance, unexpected for an imo-shochu, attracted those unfamiliar with the spirit and acted as a catalyst for the shochu boom. While it has a clean finish, the umami of the potato remains strong. Please enjoy its brilliant aroma on the rocks or diluted with water.
