Shochu that goes with lemongrass

Herbs

Bruised stalks steeped in the spirit, or a syrup. Citrus without acid, which is useful when you want aroma but not sourness.

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.
