"Ginteki" Sweet Potato Shochu
An exclusive from Umai grocery! The ideal cuvée from the Ohtemon distillery to discover shochu: sweet yet complex, orthodox yet friendly to beginners, rare yet among the most accessible on the French market. This is how you can instantly understand why this spirit is by far the most popular alcoholic beverage in Japan. Ginteki is a sweet potato shochu from Kyushu, the prefecture known for shochu, and more specifically from Kagoshima, the city renowned for sweet potato shochu.
This five-century-old designation implies a soft yet light texture and a delicately roasted aroma. And that’s exactly what Ginteki offers: roasted, peppery notes, and a smoothness that allows it to be enjoyed at room temperature.
Like all shochu, Ginteki can be mixed with sparkling water to create a refreshing cocktail highly appreciated in Japan, the "Highball." It can also be enjoyed on the rocks, of course, but can also be diluted with hot water (around 60°C) in cold weather. Another combination recommended by purists: mixing Ginteki with green or red tea, hot or cold, to highlight its sweetness.
