130 years of shochu! Introducing an alluring new product from Miyazaki Prefecture’s Kuroki Honten, sure to captivate the hearts of shochu fans everywhere.

●「KUROKIHONTEN “Q” 」

Shochu, but with 14% alcohol content. A new kind of shochu you can simply chill and enjoy as is, just like wine.

“Q” stands for “Question”, as we question the essence of what shochu should be. “Q” likewise stands for Kyushu “Quality”, and for “Quick” flavor that you can enjoy instantly from the moment you open the bottle. It comes in a stylish bottle which at first glance does not look all that much like shochu. Derived from sweet potato, this shochu has a nuanced citrus-peel taste and a mild scent reminiscent of white peach and lychee for a gentle aromatic accent, for a brand new, never-before seen shochu flavor.
