Indulge in the subtle elegance of Yokaichi Kome, a rice-based shochu that showcases the artistry of single distillation. This refined spirit, crafted with meticulous care, reveals the inherent complexity and unique character of its rice origins, resulting in a truly nuanced tasting experience.
Yokaichi Kome welcomes you with an alluring bouquet of delicate aromas. Subtle sweetness of Asian pear mingling with the floral notes of jasmine rice and delicate white blossoms, all kissed by a whisper of rainwater. On the palate, the shochu unveils a savory depth, with intriguing flavors of salted pear, minerality, green olive, and a touch of lemon pith.
Its delicate flavors and balanced acidity pair beautifully with light tapas, such as briny green olives, thinly sliced Iberico ham, succulent shrimp, or grilled chicken breast. The subtle sweetness complements the nutty notes of Manchego cheese, while the savory undertones harmonize with cod fritters, Marcona almonds, and other Tamari-infused snacks.
