The SG Shochu Home Cocktail Competition – JAPAN EDITION – 2020 – It’s time Barmen!

Shingo Gokan’s “The SG Shochu” brand seems to be sailing Japan’s bar scene at cruise speed with bars from all over country listing the IMO, KOME, MUGI range.

Some of the challenges that shochu portrays within the bartenders is the lower volume of alcohol, due to honkaku type Shochu being distilled just once, hence the difficulty of introducing it as a base for any cocktails, in Japan this type of Shochu are mainly drunk on the rocks or Mizu-wari (water-added), so if someone is up to the challenge of changing this myth, it’s The SG Shochu with its energy and aim to innovate.

If such task wasn’t a hard job enough, The SG Shochu Team has been putting his creative mind machinery once again to work and is now happily announcing it is time for:

AUTHENTIC & SINGLE DISTILED

The SG Shochu is here to reimagine “shochu,” a deeply flavorful single distilled spirit with a vast history and diversity.

Shochu—a craft spirit with its tradition spanning over 500 years—has its roots in single distillation.

The rich aromas and full flavors expressed through a single masterful distillation are rarely found in any other spirit.

The SG Shochu lineup includes KOME, IMO, and MUGI, respectively made from rice, sweet potato, and barley. Each expression strikes the perfect balance between character and mixability, with distinct flavors that can be used with versatility in any cocktail.

These expressions can be enjoyed as an accompaniment to a variety of cuisines as well. Just add cold or hot water to enjoy The SG Shochu as a traditional “mizuwari” or “oyuwari.”. Learn how to drink Shochu like a local.
