Watanabe Distillery Asahi Mannen 10,000 Years Sweet Potato Shochu
Watanabe Distillery Asahi Mannen (10,000 Years) Sweet Potato Shochu is a Miyazaki imo shochu made by the Watanabe brothers from 83% Kogane Sengan sweet potatoes they grow on their family farm and 17% black koji rice. It is bottled at 25% ABV (50 proof) in a 720ml bottle.
The Story of Asahi Mannen
The potatoes get only a quick cleaning after harvest to keep as much soil flavor as possible. The shochu ferments with native yeast spontaneously, is distilled by hand at atmospheric pressure in a hybrid still and rests 3 to 6 months in ceramic-lined steel tanks. It is a testament to craftsmanship and personality in shochu.
