Shiso, sesame, yuzu and other flavoured shochu
These are shochu with one loud idea in them, shiso or sesame or yuzu. Treat that flavour as the drink's and everything else as its frame, and do not try to add a second loud idea.

Counted from this catalogue, not from the category in general. It describes the bottles we have found records for, which is a narrower thing than what Japan makes.
Tasted at Juraku
We have these open at the bar, so the notes below come from the glass rather than from a listing.
