Honkaku Motoko Rice Shochu is a refined, long-aged Japanese spirit showcasing the purity and depth of 100% rice. Handcrafted with white koji and distilled once in an atmospheric pot still, it develops rich aromas and savory complexity through over nine years of aging in ceramic and enamel vessels. The result is a smooth, umami-driven shochu with elegant balance and a lingering finish, best enjoyed on the rocks or gently diluted with hot water.

Wine Tasting Notes
This 100% rice shochu was made by hand using white koji before being distilled just once in an atmospheric pot still which brings out richer aromas and allows for optimal aging. Honkaku Motoko Rice Shochu was aged for more than 9 years, spending some time in ceramic pots and some time in enamel tanks. The ceramic aging allows some oxidation, which creates a rich, umami-laden drink that shines on the rocks or diluted with hot water.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
