Our Nankai Imo Black sweet potato shochu from is incredible on its own with notes of chestnut, caramel, and lychee.

But did you know that pairing it with a Japanese melon soda is absolutely bonkers good. Apparently melons and sweet potatoes go well together.

Give it a try and thank us later!

MELONBALL

3 oz Melon Soda or Cream Melon Soda

Combine over ice and stir gently. Optionally garnish with a melon slice. Enjoy!

Red shiso, also known as yukari or red perilla, is an herb often used in making umeboshi, or Japanese pickled plum.

2 oz Nankai Shochu
1 oz Red Shiso Syrup
2 oz Soda Water
0.5 oz Simple Syrup (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a glass with ice. Stir gently. Garnish with a shiso leaf. You can also try it with a squeeze of lime.

Shochu Month is back in Los Angeles and you have to try the incredible tiki-style cocktail “Amami Jay” featured at .

From the fun-filled brain of comes “Amami Jay,” which combines Nankai Gold, a sesame oil wash, pineapple, banana, lemon and a red miso and cinnamon syrup to conjure images of our beloved Amami Island. Fresh fruit followed by complex umami notes make this an instant classic.

Bonus fact: Kokuto shochu is made from kokuto sugar, which makes it a close relative of rum (except for the single distillation and mandatory use of koji).

It’s Shochu Month in Los Angeles, and we’re ecstatic to have a Nankai cocktail featured at .

“Banzai Fields Forever” is EO’s spin on the classic kamikaze shot, but beautifully transformed by and to balance kokuto shochu with kalamansi, kumquat, and makrut lime. And the dehydrated lime leaf dust on the rim is just wow.
