THE DISTILLERY
Paul and Mai Nakayama went on their honeymoon in the spring of 2015 to Amami, Japan to visit her parents’ hometown. While at a local bar, Paul and Mai were introduced to a vacuum-distilled craft spirit. It was a black sugar shochu that was so easy to drink and so delicious that they enjoyed quite a bit of it. The next day they took a 12-hour boat ride to visit the distillery and learn more about their new favorite spirit.
On the plane back to Los Angeles, Paul and Mai couldn’t stop thinking about their honeymoon shochu and how much their friends in California would love it, too.
This was the beginning of Nankai Shochu and our mission to share shochu with friends old and new.
TASTING NOTES
Nankai is sweetly fragrant with notes of pear, has a creamy mouthfeel, and a delicate finish.
