Produced in the tea‑growing region of Ureshino in Saga Prefecture, this distinctive shōchū infuses the warmth of genmaicha (roasted brown rice green tea) into a traditional rice‑based spirit. Crafted by Mitsutake Shuzō, it combines polished rice, rice koji, and aromatic Ureshino tea to create a delicate balance of roasted and grassy notes.
Distilled in small batches using single distillation, Ureshino Genmaicha shōchū captures the nutty aroma of toasted rice and the verdant freshness of green tea. On the palate, it’s soft and rounded, with a faint sweetness and lingering umami typical of fine Japanese teas. Its subtle complexity makes it both comforting and refined.
Serving Suggestions:
• Enjoy neat or over ice to appreciate the harmony of tea and rice.
• Try warm with water (“oyuwari”) for an aromatic evening serve.
• Ideal with sushi, yakitori, or mild Japanese curry.
Main Ingredient: Rice, rice koji, Ureshino genmaicha (~5%)
Distillation: Honkaku (single pot)
Koji Type: Unknown
ABV: 25%
Bottle Size: 720 ml
