Description
The pioneer of Sesame Shochu, a smooth, mellow mouthfeel slides into the finish of peanut butter. Beniotome is produced with no additives, it is stored for three years, giving it a soft, rich flavor with an intense, yet comforting aroma of golden toasted sesame paste. Unlike any other!
The pronounced nose of roasted grains coalesces around toasted sesame, reminiscent of black sesame ice cream. The initial taste is surprisingly neutral, but that quickly gives way to a rich sweetness of full-on toasted sesame.
It’s completely unique in the Shochu world and you’d be hard pressed to find a spirit of any kind that rivals its nuttiness without the sickly sweet of the flavored abominations.

This is my first shochu, and I’m hooked. I bought it for the black sesame flavour and that was definitely present, but not overwhelming – more as an aftertaste. I paired it with vanilla ice cream and it tasted like black sesame ice cream, I paired it with chocolate milk and I paired it with banana – it tasted amazing with all of them. Highly recommend!
