"No retreat! No surrender! No regrets!" — aromatic Souther
Souther's bottle in the Fist of the North Star series. An expressive aroma and a fuller flavour that stands up to rich food like yakiniku or Chinese dishes.
How to enjoy it
With hot water: pour the hot water first, then the shochu, 5:5. Mitsutake recommends water at about 70°C
On the rocks: pour over ice and add a splash of room-temperature water to bring out the sweet-potato aroma
With water: shochu first, then water, 5:5 — it mixes more evenly
Tasting flight: line up two or three from the series and compare each character's aroma. The empty bottles look great on a shelf afterwards
