Shochu that goes with white peach
Orchard and stone fruit
These are bottles to mix white peach into. Some of them taste of it too, and where that is the reason a bottle is here, its line says so.
The bellini fruit. Nectar from a Japanese market, or a ripe peach muddled through a strainer.
Best bottles for white peach
The strongest matches in the catalogue, across every style. Everything below is the same ranking opened out by what the shochu is made from.
Muscat and white peach are the two aromas a Japanese fruit parlour is built on, and they do not fight
lychee, grape, jasmine, rich
Peach and floral notes are one perfume
rice, ginjo-like, floral, aged
rice, citrus, dried fruit, floral
sweet potato, lychee, grape, muscat
rice, floral, aged
rice, floral, smooth, soft
The bottle is already described as white peach, and the fruit makes it plain
barley, melon, banana, floral
rice, floral, fruity, smooth
barley, white peach, cherry, soft
Grouped by what the shochu is made from, because that is the level the reasoning works at: what this does to an imo shochu is a fact about imo shochu rather than about one bottle. Within each style the strongest matches come first, and bottles we pour are marked rather than promoted. The scores are the same engine that recommends a mixer from a bottle, run the other way round, but the labels are not: a bottle page badges at most twelve strong matches and at most three per family, so that the twelve describe that bottle rather than the same citrus and soda every time. Here there is no cap, so a pairing badged strong on this page can read as a good match on the bottle's own.
Mugi shochu
Barley's light sweetness reads as orchard fruit already, so apple and pear extend the bottle rather than decorate it.
