Tombo Shochu

Tombo is a Honkaku shochu, the category also known as Otsu-rui, or the real thing. It is single pot distilled from North American barley and white koji. The spirit is taken from the head and body of the distillation and rested for six months in stainless steel tanks. It keeps its full flavour yet stays mellow and easy to sip. The aroma is a rich grain character, followed by pear and citrus with a touch of tropical spice. The finish is clean and long, with spice, a steely note and green olive.
