Distilled from our sake-kasu - the flavorful rice lees left after sake pressing.

This unfiltered (muroka) spirit is handcrafted by Theo Ligthart of Freimeisterkollektiv in a limited edition of 260 bottles. Distilled in a traditional copper still, it bridges Japanese tradition with local eau-de-vie craftsmanship – and happens to be the first shochu ever made in Germany.

Tropical fruit, floral and cheesy notes meet earthy and citrus nuances. The palate shows roasted tones with hints of banana, creaminess, and dark chocolate - smooth, layered, and quietly complex.

Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails as a light, balanced alternative to gin or rum.

By giving new life to leftover sake lees, we are taking a small but conscious step towards sustainable craftsmanship.
