Kuro Kirishima is a Japanese sweet potato shochu made by Kirishima Shuzo in Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu. It is a single-distilled honkaku shochu, fermented with black koji, and bottled at 25% ABV in a 75cl bottle.
The mash is 84% sweet potato and 16% rice, with the rice used to cultivate the black koji. The company traces the spirit back to its first black koji shochu of 1916.
The nose is steamed sweet potato with a light rose-like floral note and a toasted, bready sweetness. The palate is creamy and round, with melon and citrus giving way to roasted sweet potato and a hint of smoke. The finish is medium and crisp, with faint earthy notes.
