Rokuchoshi Red Label (720ml) / ろくちょうし赤

The difference of each Kuma Shochu comes from 3 points:

• Kind of Tank for aging - It affects the aroma of shochu
• Multiple blended or Single blend - Multiple blended shochu can be enjoyed unique and new flovour & taste. Their constant effort to develop the best blended shochu results in many world wide award. On the other hand, Single blend can be enjoyed the original taste.
• Year of aging - Aging makes the taste milder and the texture more smooth. Since aging requires time and technique, Long aged shochu is considered to be precious.

In atmospheric distillation, it is possible to extract the aroma and flavor components characterized by a mild and light taste.

In addition, the "moromi"(unrefined sake) is distilled at normal atmospheric pressure, and boiled at high temperature, resulting in a unique aroma and rich flavor.

You can enjoy the fragrant, sweet, soft, rich, and mellow taste.

AGING

The shochu is aged for a long period of time in a tank cellar where the temperature and humidity are controlled 24 hours a day, just like in the Highlands of Scotland where its Scotch Whiskey is famous.

BLENDING

Each multiple blended shochu is brewed with different formulations every year. The unique and special blending that no one can make is highly evaluated all over the world. 

Instead of retaining the taste of the shochu, the brewery has been trying to produce better multiple blended shochu with high aspirations.

WORLD RENOWNED

In 1995, the World Trade Organization (WTO) granted Kuma Shochu geographical protection, similar to how Scotch Whiskey and Champagne regions are protected.

It is one of four approved shochu brands in Japan with Geographical Indication (GI) and the approved use of "Kuma" in their brand name, like Scotch and Cognac.

It is also the first alcoholic beverage to be awarded a "regional brand" by the Japan Patent Office.
