Kyushu is the second largest island in Japan, located in the far south. On the southwestern coast of this island sits the Komasa Distillery. This beautifully-ordered facility has been producing fine Shochu and Liqueurs for nearly 140 years and is still lead by a member of the founding Komasa family — Yoshitsugu Komasa. The distillery is in a rural district and uses local ingredients for all of their products.
Komasa Sakurajima Komikan Gin is a delicate Gin with a distinctly Japanese flare. It begins using extra-distilled Shochu — fermented using koji — as the base. Then, in addition to the tradition Gin botanicals of juniper and coriander, they ad local Sakurajima komikan — a small citrus fruit in the mandarin family. The combination is wonderfully complex, delicate… precise and purposeful in every nuance.
Smartass Corner:
Shochu can be made from a wide variety of bases. It’s probably best thought of as a cross between Sake and Vodka in flavor and alcohol content. Shochu made from barley is widely considered to be the highest quality with a more delicate profile and floral character.
