Daichi No Kouki Shochu is a barrel-aged shochu made from sweet potatoes (imo). It is produced using select Kogane-Sengan sweet potatoes from southern Kyushu. This variety is highly prized for the production of premium shochu. After distillation, Daichi is aged for over three years in American oak barrels. The combination of the sweet potato’s intense, floral aromas and the subtle notes of the barrel is a perfect match. This shochu is remarkably fresh, fragrant, and elegant.

Daichi No Kouki can be roughly translated as “Scent of the Earth”—a name that beautifully captures its character. This Imo Shochu demonstrates just how surprisingly versatile sweet potatoes can be. In addition to a warm, earthy-sweet base aroma, it features strong floral notes of violet and rose. These are complemented by the complex aromas from the barrel. It is precisely this aging process that sets Daichi No Kouki apart from many classically aged Imo shochus. The result is a shochu with great depth and a pleasantly smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel.
Daichi no Kouki is best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube. With an alcohol content of 25% vol., it remains true to the style of Japanese Honkaku Shochu and offers an exciting alternative for anyone who enjoys aged spirits.

About the manufacturer

Unkai Shuzo Co. was founded in 1942 as Gokase Shuzo Ltd. and changed its name to Unkai Shuzo in 1975. Initially the company produced wine, but gradually Unkai expanded its range to include beer and shochu. The manufacturer is known for its environmentally friendly production processes. Recycling centers were set up at the production sites and research was carried out into the recycling of waste materials from shochu production. In 1999, the company succeeded in producing recycled animal feed for the first time with its patented technology. Today, Unkai sells its feed to cattle farms throughout the country.

Unkai Shuzo is also known for its exquisite skill in the production of alcoholic beverages and its flair for trends. This is where the country's very first soba shochu was produced. Interestingly, the company also produces "German Kölsch" and "German Alt" and successfully launched them on the Japanese market. The company is headquartered in Miyazaki on Japan's third largest island, Kyūshū, which is known as the birthplace and home of shochu.
