Shochu that goes with grapefruit

Citrus

Bitter, bright and forgiving. Ruby or white both work; white is drier. The grapefruit sour is a real bar order in Japan, not a novelty.

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
