Satsuma Houzan Imo Shochu 720ml

Satsuma Houzan Imo Shochu is a traditional Japanese sweet potato (imo) shochu that highlights rich, earthy character and smooth, refined flavor. Crafted using premium Satsuma-grown sweet potatoes and time-honored distillation techniques, this imo shochu delivers balance, depth, and a clean finish that’s both approachable and satisfying.

On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of roasted sweet potato, warm earth, and subtle floral notes with hints of light citrus and grain. The palate is smooth and round, showcasing mellow sweet potato sweetness, mild herbal nuance, and gentle spice, supported by soft minerality and a hint of smokiness. The finish is clean, warming, and well-balanced—with lingering sweet potato charm and subtle complexity.

Versatile and distinctive, Satsuma Houzan Imo Shochu is excellent neat, over ice, or with a splash of water (mizuwari) to open its layers. It also pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, yakitori, spicy Asian cuisine, and rich tofu dishes—making it a great choice for dinners, celebrations, or relaxed gatherings. Available at theliquorstore.com, it’s a standout Japanese spirit for both newcomers and seasoned shochu lovers.
