The raw materials to produce this distillate can vary, from chestnuts to sweet potatoes, from barley to buckwheat, while distillation always takes place in discontinuous copper or steel still.
The shochu Mutemaka Davada Hiburi of Yoigokochi Sake Importers is based on chestnuts that give it a sweet taste and a marked aromaticity. Balanced and soft on the palate.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
