Osuzuyama Distillery Yamaneko Wildcat Sweet Potato Shochu
Osuzuyama Distillery Yamaneko (Wildcat) Sweet Potato Shochu is a Japanese imo shochu from Miyazaki made from 80% estate-grown Joy White sweet potatoes and 20% white koji rice. It is bottled at 25% ABV (50 proof) in a 720ml bottle.
The Story of Yamaneko
Osuzuyama uses Osuzu mountain spring water, distills at atmospheric pressure (joatsu) and ages the shochu 3 years in kame (clay amphorae), which mellows it for a smooth texture. Yamaneko also forms the base spirit of Osuzu Gin.

How to Enjoy
Mix lightly with chilled water or over ice to bring out the tropical notes; a splash of hot water opens honey and fruit flavors.
