Nemuri Karasameta Gokujyou Jyunen Shochu

The manufacturer of the Nemuri Karasameta Gokujyou Jyunen Shochus is Ohishi Shuzo, based in Mizukami, Kumamoto. The finest kuma shochus have been produced here since 1897. The company attaches particular importance to the careful selection of raw materials. The rice is grown in-house, in a wide variety of different rice types such as Hinohikari, Gin No Sato and Yamada Nishiki, which are also known from sake production. The Nemuri Karasameta Gokujyou Jyunen Shochu is aged for over ten years in steel tanks and has an intense, yet very delicate rice flavor. This shochu is soft and mild, has a full body and an exciting complexity.

The combination of the best ingredients and the ageing method make the Nemuri Karasameta Gokujyou Jyunen Shochu something very special. Over the course of his career, producer Ohishi-san has introduced new techniques and ideas to the distillery, while always retaining the traditional methods.

Nemuri Karasameta Shochu can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Extended with soda or cold water, it is a fantastic accompaniment to food such as fish, sushi, sashimi, seafood and white meat.

Ohishi Shuzo was founded in 1897 in Mizukami, Kumamoto Prefecture, and produces the finest kuma shochus (kome/rice) here. The Ohishi distillery is located near the source of the Kuma River, the largest river in Kumamoto Prefecture, and is the closest to the source of the river among the members of the Kuma Shochu Guild. The climatic conditions for shochu production are particularly good here and the water is very pure. The long-term storage of rice shochu does not yet have a long tradition in Japan, but Ohishi-san is intensively dedicated to research in this field. There are over 1200 barrels in his distillery, such as sherry and cognac barrels, which he uses to test the ageing methods and barrel storage of Kuma Shochu. At the same time, he also matures his Kuma Shochus in steel tanks.
