What is Mizu Lemongrass Shochu?
Mizu Lemongrass Shochu offers a unique twist on traditional Japanese spirits by infusing the clean, crisp notes of lemongrass into a barley-based shochu. This innovative spirit is distilled in Kagoshima, a region renowned for its volcanic soil, which imparts subtle mineral undertones to the final product, creating a complex and refreshing flavor profile.
Why do we love Mizu Lemongrass Shochu?
Mizu Lemongrass Shochu offers cocktail drinkers a refreshing alternative to traditional spirits, blending the clean, grassy notes of lemongrass with the subtle complexity of shochu, a Japanese distilled spirit. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane or molasses, this shochu is crafted from barley and infused with real lemongrass, resulting in a lighter, more nuanced flavor profile that's perfect for creating unique, Asian-inspired cocktails or enjoying on its own over ice.
How do you drink Mizu Lemongrass Shochu?
Mizu Lemongrass Shochu shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its delicate herbal notes to take center stage, but it also makes a refreshing base for citrus-forward cocktails on warm summer evenings. This versatile spirit pairs beautifully with light, fresh fare like grilled fish, vegetable tempura, or zesty Asian salads, enhancing the meal without overpowering subtle flavors.

Nose: Fresh lemongrass dominates, backed by subtle hints of barley and sweet potato. A clean, herbaceous aroma with a touch of citrus zest and white pepper.
Palate: Light-bodied and crisp. The lemongrass is present but not overpowering, allowing the shochu's base flavors to shine through. Notes of green tea, cucumber, and a slight earthiness reminiscent of freshly cut grass. A mild sweetness balances the herbal elements.
Finish: Clean and refreshing with a lingering lemongrass essence. A gentle warmth spreads across the palate, leaving a subtle spiciness and a hint of minerality. The finish is dry, inviting another sip.
Mizu Lemongrass Shochu is crafted using a unique two-step fermentation process that combines locally grown barley with fresh lemongrass harvested from the distillery's own fields. The lemongrass is added during the second fermentation, infusing the spirit with its distinctive citrusy aroma and flavor, before the mixture undergoes a careful distillation to create a smooth, aromatic shochu that captures the essence of its ingredients.
