Koji, The Key to the True Sweet Potato Honkaku Shochu
The key factor in determining the flavor of Shochu is “koji”. Traditionally, it was technically difficult to use sweet potatoes for koji, so rice has been used as the base ingredient for koji in sweet potato Shochu. However, after years of Research and development, Kirishima Shuzo has pioneered a unique technique that allows them to make koji from sweet potatoes. This breakthrough has led to the creation of a honkaku shochu that enhances the natural flavor of the sweet potato.
A Flavor Like No Other, G Taste
