Kokuto Shochu, which is only produced in Amami Islands, now comes with a lower alcohol content! The mellow aroma and mild taste of Sato no Akebono BLUE is finished at 18% alcohol by volume so that it can be enjoyed as it is, without being watered down. The sweetness and richness of the brown sugar goes well with fatty fish and pork dishes. It's also perfect for BBQs because it uses a label that won't come off even when the bottle is chilled in a wine cooler or refrigerator!
