The Story of SG Imo
It blends Koganesengan potatoes, a classic shochu variety that adds structure, with Eimurasaki, a rare purple sweet potato that adds distinctive aromatics. Both are grown in volcanic soil and sent to the distillery right after harvest. It is saccharified with black koji, distilled once in a stainless steel pot still and rested in enamel.
