ARAWAZA Sakurajima Hanatare

The "Hanatare" First Drops of Distillation

In the patent "Migaki distillation" of "ARAWAZA Sakurajima", only the initial first-drip part that flows out when the glamorous scent is extracted is collected for just 300 seconds to create Hanatare (first-drip) imo shochu. It was commercialized in 2016 by raising funds through Rakuten crowdfunding. It has a large volume of overall flavor, with a strong and impactful taste, allowing you to enjoy the distinctive glamorous scent of the first-drip part (Hanatare) and a fruity flavor reminiscent of ripe bananas.
