It is said that the very first seedlings of green tea in Japan were planted by the Zen Buddhist monk Myoan Eisai on a mountain in Saga Prefecture more than 800 years ago. This heritage is a great source of pride for the local farmers in the nearby town of Ureshino, which is well known for producing some of the most sought after sencha in all Japan. The legacy also serves as our inspiration for this wonderfully rich and fragrant Green Tea shochu. Hand crafted in the traditional way, the shochu is single distilled from a mash of local harvests; two-rowed barley, black koji rice, and freshly picked, then steamed, Ureshino green tea leaves. At 70 proof it is more concentrated like shochus of old to enhance the aroma, complexities, body and finish. Rich, bold, fragrant and delicious.

Satsuma Hozan is the shochu that made Nishi Shuzo famous throughout Japan. This luscious white koji shochu is approachable, yet complex. it hits you first in the nose with a faintly roasted sweet potato aroma.

The white koji and atmospheric distillation combine to give Satsuma Hozan a buttery mouthfeel while providing floral, aromatic flavors that are slightly sweet with the roasted flavor appearing in the middle of the sip.
