Shochu that goes with apple
Orchard and stone fruit
Cold-pressed juice or thin slices. Green apple is the aroma many ginjo sake already carry, so this is amplification rather than addition.
Ranked over every bottle in the catalogue, with the reason each one is here. The reasoning is the same engine that recommends a mixer from a bottle, run the other way round, so the two never contradict each other.
Best with it
- SG Shochu KOME
Kome (rice)
Apple: Rice shochu distilled with ginjo yeast carries apple and melon esters already, so orchard fruit is amplification.
