OKAYAMA GOKUSEI SHOCHU 岡山 極聖 粕とり焼酎 720ml

Brewed and distilled by Miyashita Shuzo (宮下酒造) in Okayama Prefecture, Gokusei Kasutori Shochu (極聖 粕取り焼酎) is made using the traditional Kasutori method — distilling the fragrant lees left after premium sake production.

This technique yields a shochu with elegant rice-derived aromatics and a clean, silky palate. Expect notes of steamed rice, vanilla, and subtle fruit, followed by a crisp, dry finish. Lighter than grain shochu yet deeper than most sake-based spirits, it’s a versatile drink that can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or with warm water.
