Hitohiro

Black Koji-brewed Honkaku Mugi Shochu
"Hitohiro" means the length of one's own height with arms spread wide. It is brewed in a kame jar buried in the ground to that same height, allowing it to ferment slowly in harmony with nature, bringing out the original richness and depth of Mugi shochu. The gentle aroma of barley that emerges from the combination of black koji production and kame jar brewing, along with the thick and rich depth of black koji. While many shochu aim for easy drinking, this Mugi shochu returns to the roots of Mugi shochu and offers a unique depth of character that sets it apart from traditional varieties.
