Majo no Itazura (“Witch’s Kiss”) is a distinctive roasted‑barley shōchū from Yamato Shuzō in Saga Prefecture. Crafted using carefully selected barley and barley koji, it is single‑distilled to preserve depth and aroma, then rested to develop a smooth, rounded texture.
This shōchū draws inspiration from the richness of roasted grain, offering a bold fragrance of coffee, cocoa, and toasted cereal. On the palate, it is dry yet layered, smoky malt notes blend with savoury umami, leading to a long, satisfying finish. It’s a captivating, whisky‑like interpretation of barley shōchū with a playful modern edge.
Serving Suggestions:
• Neat in a tumbler or over ice to enjoy its roasted aroma.
• With warm water to enhance malt sweetness and depth.
• Excellent with grilled meats, yakitori, or roasted vegetables.
