Shochu Amami Oshima Jougo is a refined distillate from the island of Amami Oshima, located in the south of Japan, a territory renowned for producing high-quality shochu. This distillate is primarily made using sweet potatoes as the raw material, processed with traditional methods that enhance the purity and smoothness of the final product.
In the glass, it presents a delicate and slightly sweet aroma, evoking natural notes of earth and cooked fruit, accompanied by a pleasant toasty hint due to aging. On the palate, it stands out for its roundness, balance, and freshness, which unfold in a clean and persistent finish. Shochu Amami Oshima Jougo is ideal to be enjoyed neat, at room temperature or slightly chilled, but it also pairs well with Asian cuisine dishes, especially preparations based on fish and vegetables.
A remarkable example of Japanese distillate capable of conveying the tradition and unique terroir of the island of Amami Oshima.
