Handcrafted in the traditional way, Mizu Shochu is single distilled from two-rowed barley, black koji rice, and the pure, famous waters of Black Hair Mountain. At 70 proof it is more concentrated, like shochus of old, to enhance the subtle complexities, body and finish. It is also produced using 100% locally farmed ingredients from Saga prefecture, a source of great pride to master distiller Hirofumi Okoba. (Winner of Double Gold and Gold Medals.)
