The Story
A classic rice shochu from Kuroki Honten distillery, Yamasemi is named after Kingfisher birds often spotted along the mountain streams around the distillery.
Fermentation is done using a proprietary in-house yeast and natural spring water, and with rice grown on the distillery’s own rice fields. Aged in traditional kame clay aging pots to create a mellow, smooth and buttery spirit, mildly savory and smoky. Excellent served over ice or with a splash of water, reminiscent of fine sake.
