The Kicco Houzan Imo 72cl produced by Nishi is an extraordinary shōchū from the beautiful Kyushu region in Japan, renowned for its traditional distillations. Made mainly with sweet potatoes (imo), this spirit stands out for the intensity and aromatic richness typical of the base ingredient, offering an enveloping bouquet ranging from sweet and earthy notes to slightly smoky hints.



The artisanal distillation technique and aging in small containers enhance the taste persistence and the balance between softness and structure, making the Kicco Houzan an elegant yet characterful spirit. It presents a clear and transparent color, with a soft and slightly spicy finish. Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water, it pairs beautifully with fish dishes, white meats, and delicate oriental flavors, highlighting Japanese culture and territory through every sip.
