Aka Kirishima is a premium Japanese sweet potato (imo) shochu, meticulously crafted by Kirishima Shuzo in Miyazaki Prefecture. This honkaku (authentic) shochu is distinguished by its use of the Murasaki Masari sweet potato, a purple variety rich in polyphenols. During fermentation, these polyphenols react with citric acid produced by the black koji mould, imparting a distinctive red hue to the spirit, which inspires its name, 'Aka' meaning 'red'. The result is a refined shochu with an elegant aroma and a clear, lingering sweetness that reflects the unique characteristics of its ingredients.

Taste Notes:

  • Nose: Delicate floral notes with hints of fresh herbs and a subtle earthiness.

  • Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, featuring a gentle sweetness intertwined with nuances of sweet potato and a touch of spice.

  • Finish: Clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant, mildly sweet aftertaste.

* It has gained popularity among shochu enthusiasts for its refined flavour and aromatic profile.

Awards:

  • Gold Medal at the Monde Selection (2013, 2014, 2015).

  • Top Prize at the Kagoshima Shochu Competition (2016).
