Shochu that goes with toasted sesame

Savory and salt

A sesame syrup, or a rim of ground sesame and salt. Toasty and rich.

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.
