TANTAKATAN Shiso Shochu

TANTAKATAN Shiso Shochu. Inspired by the local folktales and famously tart shiso perilla leaves of Shiranuka, Hokkaido, the unique blend of this traditional shochu pairs its crisp, sourness with wonderfully sweet and uplifting floral notes. Brewed with natural sugar cane and dates, alongside its base of shiso perilla leaves, this shochu has a light yet lusciously sweet consistency that unveils a plethora of invigorating aromas, before closing with a satisfying, tangy finish. Based on the Ainu legend of Tan Taka, who sought shiso perilla leaves to save the region’s suffering sea life, this refined shochu comes in a stylish clouded bottle. Best served chilled with ice or soda water.
