Iichiko Mugi Shochu Japanese Barley Spirit 1.8L

Shochu (焼酎) is a traditional Japanese distilled spirit, and Iichiko Mugi Shochu is a leading example made from 100% barley. This particular expression, classified as Otsu-rui (乙類), is single-distilled, a method that preserves the natural, gentle aroma and smooth character of the barley. Its clean and crisp flavour profile makes it exceptionally versatile for a wide range of occasions, from a quiet evening drink to a social gathering. It is commonly enjoyed on the rocks, mixed with cold or hot water (mizuwari or oyuwari), or used as a base for cocktails like the Chu-hai, mixed with soda and fruit juice. For a classic pairing, serve it alongside Japanese izakaya-style dishes such as yakitori, edamame, or sashimi. This 1.8L pack is a staple in Japanese households, ideal for those who appreciate a smooth, easy-drinking spirit.
