Product Description
Like "Flamingo Orange," this is a vacuum-distilled shochu made using "Kagoshima Kaori Yeast No. 1"; however, while Flamingo Orange is brewed using sweet potato koji, "Cool Mint Green" utilizes rice koji. To further accentuate its unique character, the brewers skipped the traditional primary fermentation stage; instead, they combined the rice koji, Satsumamasari sweet potatoes, and Kagoshima Kaori Yeast No. 1 all at once to coax out aromas reminiscent of isoamyl acetate—specifically, banana-like notes. In contrast to "Flamingo Orange," which is defined by its gorgeous, fruit-like aroma, "Cool Mint Green" offers scents of mint, menthol, banana, and citrus, delivering a refreshing sweetness upon the palate. It captures the very essence of fresh, cool mint, redefining the concept of sweet potato shochu. There is the tropical-fruit-like "Flamingo Orange"; the "Sunny Cream," with its mild acidity and rich, creamy, banana-like profile; and the "Cool Mint Green," featuring a lively, minty freshness. We highly recommend tasting them side-by-side.
