Kyoza Yuzu Gin (750ml)
Notes
This handcrafted gin from the Kyoya Distillery starts with a sweet potato shochu base and botanicals such as yuzu, hyuganatsu, and sansho pepper. The sweet potato shochu base adds a complex richness and unique texture. Founded in 1834, Kyoya Distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Kyushu, producing award-winning shochu from Beni Satsuma sweet potatoes. Their potatoes are naturally fermented in ceramic jugs before being distilled. The distillery uses environmentally friendly practices along with locally sourced, vertically integrated farming. The potato mash is distilled on small 200-liter stainless Japanese stills. Each botanical is steeped in the finished shochu and distilled separately — a time intensive process that allows for precise adjustments. The delicious zesty spirit is unlike any other gin in the store. The botanicals included are juniper berries, yuzu, sansho peppers, local Hebesu, local hyuganatsu, cucumber, ginger, coriander, and cloves. The Hyuganatsu and Hebesu are rare seasonal citrus that grown exclusively in Miyazaki prefecture.
