Shochu description :
In 1995, Iki shochu was granted Geographical Indication (GI Iki) status. Even if the same ingredients and methods are used, only shochu produced in Iki can be called 'Iki Shochu.' The continued use of rice koji, a hallmark of traditional Japanese sake-making, reflects the deep pride of the island's people.
The original barley shochu, crafted using a traditional distillation method passed down in Iki for over 400 years, is aged for more than 8 years. It delivers a rich, full-bodied taste with the natural sweetness of rice and a gentle but noticeable aroma of barley.
