Kokuto Shochu, which is only produced in Amami Islands, now comes with a lower alcohol content! 100% barrel-stored to make the most of the 18% ABV drinking experience without diluting it.
Most shochu products are 25% ABV or higher, but if they are diluted with water, the aroma and flavour of the cask will inevitably become diluted. Akebono 18% Gold is made from carefully selected barrel-stored shochu, adjusted to 18% ABV so that the aroma and flavour straight out of the barrel can be enjoyed at a lighter alcohol content.
