Staff Pick Notes

Satoh Kuro is a rich, earthy, and immensely satisfying black koji sweet potato shochu. Hailing from Kyushu Island, a subtropical island just southwest of Japan’s main islands. This robust and full flavored spirit gains a large part of its character from the blending before distillation, maintaining as much body and flavor as possible from the first fermentation. Also notable is the use of Black koji, pronounced in note or mushroom and earth. Roasted sesame notes guide you through a luxurious sip that shows sweet, starchy and umami all at the same time. I do prefer to drink this brew on a cube of ice or with a drop of cold water. That helps to soften the sip and balance the truly proud umami notes here.
