This rare shōchū is distilled from the aquatic fruit “hishi” (Trapa japonica), the water‑chestnut fruit/seed, yielding a distinct, clean spirit. Produced in Kyūshū, it showcases an unusual base ingredient that imparts a crisp, refreshing profile.
Made with rice koji and water chestnut, and distilled under reduced pressure, Hishi shōchū reveals soft vegetal aromas with subtle nutty sweetness. The palate is clean, slightly earthy, and delicately sweet with a dry, refreshing finish. This is a spirit for those seeking the unexpected, light, graceful, and quietly complex.
Serving Suggestions:
• Serve chilled or on the rocks to emphasise its clean mineral edge.
• Try with a splash of cold water for a subtle, refreshing aperitif.
• Pairs beautifully with sashimi, tofu, or seasonal vegetables.
Main Ingredient: Water chestnut & rice koji
Distillation: Vacuum (reduced pressure)
Koji Type: Unknown
ABV: 26%
Bottle Size: 720 ml
