CHILL GREEN spicy & citrus

Botanic Barley Shochu, Explore New Palate

The Fresh, Wafting Aroma of Maqaw Spice.
Maqaw is an aromatic botanical we use as a raw ingredient in this spirit.
Taking advantage of this spice’s citrusy fragrance and a spiciness that parallels sansho peppers, the spirits is further elevated with umami in barley shochu to create a new flavor that no one has ever experienced.

The name of the drink was coined in a lexical combination of Chill Out as in “to relax” and Green that took inspirations from “botanical” and “natural”. This brand aims to be at the side those discerning customers who are looking for a relaxing time for themselves in a busy daily life. This is how we envisioned creation of this spirit.

—2 special manufacturing methods that create new palate
Botani-cohol Method
A method of developing a new type of fragrance-forward flavor profile by combining botanicals with mash (alcohol). Botanicals are added to mash at the optimum time during fermentation, allowing the aromatics from the botanicals to be fully extended to the end product of shochu.

Refined Blend
We use the most refined raw shochu in the blend to fully bring out Maqaw’s strength.
Note: Both Botani-cohol and Refined Blend methods are unique naming coined by Hamada Syuzou.
