Description
Der Kariu Shochu wird von Bungo Meijyo in Saiki in der Präfektur Oita hergestellt. Es handelt sich um einen „kompletten“ Gersten-Shochu, das heißt, dass auch für die Fermentation Gerste in Form von Gersten-Koji zum Einsatz kommt. Produziert wird er mit weißem Koji und durch Vakuum-Destillation. Das Wasser für die Shochu-Produktion von Bungo Meijyo stammt aus dem Banjo River in Oita, der als einer der klarsten Flüsse auf Kyushu gilt.
Kariu Shochu impresses with its elegant barley note and is very mild and smooth. The elegant barley flavor in combination with the beautiful fruity notes make it a wonderful accompaniment to food.

About Bungo Meijyo
Bungo Meijyo was founded in 1919 as "Kariu Sake Brewery" in Saiki, Oita Prefecture. The prefecture was originally an area where sake production flourished. Initially founded as a sake brewery, however, the company's focus shifted from sake to shochu due to the big shochu boom in Japan. Especially during the big trend of barley shochu in the 1975s, Bungo Meijyo focused on the production of mugi shochu. The barley for the company's shochus is grown entirely in Oita Prefecture. Bungo has a deep connection to agriculture. The water for shochu production comes from the Banjo River in Oita, considered one of the clearest rivers on Kyushu. The craftsmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation since the company was founded are essential to shochu production. Bungo Meijyo makes excellent shochus, being both innovative and traditional.
