The Nishi Tomino Houzan Imo is a fine expression of shōchū, a traditional Japanese distillate made from sweet potatoes, from which the term "Imo" derives. Coming from the Nishi distillery, this product embodies the essence of the Kyushu region, where the climate and soil favor the cultivation of particularly aromatic tubers.
Artisanal distillation enhances the sweet and slightly earthy notes of the sweet potatoes, ensuring a complex and enveloping aromatic profile. On the nose, there are hints of white-fleshed fruit, with delicate floral notes and a touch of sweet spices. On the palate, the smoothness is balanced by a round and persistent taste, leaving pleasant mineral notes on the finish.
Perfect to sip neat or with a splash of hot water, the Nishi Tomino Houzan Imo pairs well with Japanese cuisine dishes based on fish and vegetables, enhancing delicate yet distinct flavors. An ideal choice for those who want to explore the fine art of Japanese distillates.
