About the Kirishima MELT Series

The Kirishima MELT series are spirits created by aging the genshu (undiluted shochu) for an extended period, including barrel aging, to enhance its natural characteristics. This aging process imparts a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth flavor and a rich amber color, delivering a distinctive taste that sets it apart from regular products.

Internationally Acclaimed

This spirit has been highly recognized at competitions abroad.
We hope this item will lead to more people abroad experiencing the deliciousness of honkaku shochu.
