Shochu Sanwa 70cl - IIchiko

The IIchiko Sanwa shochu has a clean, no-frills profile, where aromatic clarity prevails over subtle, delicate notes. On the nose there are hints of grain and a slight almond-like sweetness, while on the palate it shows a dry, smooth texture: the sip is direct, balanced in its progression, with a gentle texture that carries the palate. It doesn’t seek excessive intensity, but rather the pleasure of a measured spirit, with a savory, clean finish that invites a second glass.

Thanks to its light structure and gustatory cleanliness it lends itself well to various serving styles: excellent neat, on the rocks, or diluted with hot or cold water to open up its aromas. It is a natural companion to simple, savory cuisine — fish, sashimi, vegetable dishes and tempura — but also stands up well to bolder bites like grilled white meats; ideal for those looking for an everyday spirit, versatile and easy to drink.
