Sekitoba Yuzu Shochu

Sekitoba yuzu shochu is produced by Hamada Syuzou in Kagoshima. Hamada is the largest shochu producer in the prefecture and has been making the finest sweet potato shochus here since 1868. The alcoholic base for the Sekitoba Yuzu shochu is Hamada's flagship shochu "Satsuma Akatouma". This shochu is mixed with local yuzu juice, whereby the yuzu taste is absolutely dominant and subtly incorporates the taste of the sweet potato. The soft taste of the Honkaku Shochu and the refreshing taste of the yuzu merge to create an exciting complexity. The finish is very fresh and long with a gentle sweetness.

Sekitoba Yuzu Shochu should be enjoyed well chilled or on ice. It is also very suitable for mixing with soda (1:1) and as an ingredient for fresh cocktails. As an aperitif or dessert wine, this yuzu shochu is also an ideal accompaniment to food. Once opened, the contents should be kept in the fridge.

Hamada Syuzou was founded in 1868 and is based in Ichikikushikino in Kagoshima Prefecture. The company has three distilleries: Denbeegura, Denzoingura and Kinzangura. These embody the core ideas of the company's vision in the production of shochu, namely tradition, innovation and heritage or succession.
Since its inception over 150 years ago, the company has strived to produce premium honkaku shochus (genuine shochus) and has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest shochus in the world. The company is also innovative and focused on environmental protection. In Denzoin, for example, biogas produced during fermentation is collected to be used as fuel for the distillation kettles. Other residues from shochu production are used as animal feed and as a raw material for compost. In addition, an energy-saving steam system is used to steam the raw materials, which works with a low steam content and therefore achieves energy savings of over 40%.
