Mizu No Mai Green Tea Shochu 750ml

Rich and fragrant with notes of matcha, passion fruit, nori (dried seaweed) and cacao. Buttery texture with a long, delicious, lingering finish. Green tea ice cream, chocolate, banana and hints of white peach. On the nose, the green tea notes are nestled among barley graininess, kelp, and peppercorn. There’s also a faint, candied banana afterthought that hovers above the glass and sneaks to the front of the aroma profile if you inhale only lightly. The palate is much the same although the tea notes hide for a moment before blossoming mid-palate. Sweet and round with a long finish, I could sip this 35% ABV pot-distilled shochu all day.
