MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Gluten-Free
Nankai Shochu is distilled from 80% sugarcane and 20% rice, both of which are naturally gluten-free. And, Nankai Shochu is all-natural without additives or flavorings.
Ultra Low Calories
Shochu has lower calories per serving size than vodka. A 1.5 ounce shot of shochu has about 60 calories versus 90 calories for vodka.
Heart Benefits
Drinking shochu stimulates urokinase enzymes (1.5x more than red wine) in the body that break up blood clots, reducing the risk of heart disease and strokes.
Tastes Great
Yes, this icon doesn't match the set, but we're pretty proud of our awards: Gold Medal 2018 LA Spirits Competition and Double Gold Medal SIP Awards. We think you'll agree with the judges.
WHAT IS SHOCHU?
What makes shochu unique?
1. Shochu can be distilled from many different local ingredients, the most popular being sweet potato, barley, rice, and kokuto sugar.
2. Because it uses koji, shochu has umami.
3. Genuine shochu is single-distilled, preserving the flavors and aromas of the ingredients. Most spirits are distilled many times, losing flavor with each pass.
Finally, you should know that single-distilled shochu is sugar-free, carb-free, naturally gluten-free, and additive-free.
