Akane Kirishima
$55.0
Akane Kirishima is a premium Japanese sweet potato shochu produced by Kirishima Shuzo, one of Japan’s most celebrated distilleries, founded in 1916 in Miyazaki Prefecture. Bottled at 25% ABV in a 900 ml format, this honkaku shochu stands out for its vivid amber hue and elegantly mellow taste. Crafted from carefully selected sweet potatoes, rice kōji, and pristine underground water from the Kirishima mountains, it offers a smooth, slightly sweet profile with gentle notes of roasted chestnut, floral undertones, and a lingering, well-rounded finish. Best enjoyed on the rocks, diluted with hot water, or as a chilled highball, Akane Kirishima pairs beautifully with Japanese home-style dishes, grilled meats, and seasonal vegetables. With its refined balance and distinctive color, it represents Kirishima Shuzo’s dedication to tradition, quality, and innovation in the world of shochu.
