Shochu that goes with sansho pepper
Spice and warmth
A pinch of ground sansho over the top, or a few peppercorns steeped. Numbing, citrusy, green.
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.
