New Korui and Konwa Shochu Products in 2018

May 14, 2019 by admin 1 Comment

This is the official list of new korui shochu (multiply-distilled in a column) and konwa shochu (blended shochu — korui and otsurui) released last year.

This list is adapted from the Japanese government’s official numbers as published in May of this year.

All of the products in the above table are made by two macro distilleries. Importantly, “ko-otsu” means that at least 50% of the contents of those products is korui shochu. And likely much more than 50%. That is the best explanation for why the MSRPs are so low.

Asahi Beer released these two sweet potato shochu konwa products in the fall of 2018.
