Honkaku Shochu means the highest quality Shochu with single distillation. Single distillation extracts flavour and aroma precisely. This shochu is made with 100% freshly harvested Kogane Sengan potato (imo). Shochu made from Imo has subtle but lovely sweet potato characters. Kishogura is the original distillery where Hombo Shuzo was established. Main fermentation of this shochu was done in 100 year old Chinese ceramic large pot called 'Tsubo' . This traditional method involves lots of labour.
