Join us for the first round of Iichiko Shochu Tastings at Landmark Wine and Spirits

For our first tasting we will feature our signature Silhouette Shochu and Saiten and offer cocktail options to pair with chocolate! The chocolate will be made by Chika Hanyu (former head chocolatier from Marie Belle) to enjoy with Iichiko Shochu.

All products purchased the day of the tasting will be 15% off retail value.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about Japanese shochu and to taste some fun ways to enjoy Japanese spirits!

iichiko Saiten

Crafted specifically for the modern bartender, iichiko Saiten is a full-flavored expression of shochu that is perfect for cocktails at 43% ABV (alcohol by volume).

On the nose, iichiko Saiten is redolent with aromas of honeydew melon, white grape, pickled watermelon rind and kabosu citrus. There are also hints of soy, white pepper and rich barley notes.

On the palate, iichiko Saiten has a strong start and a long finish. It exudes rich umami notes of jasmine tea, white peach, minerals and earth with some citrus and a saline finish that beckons another sip. Its complex flavors offer exciting options for mixing in cocktails.

iichiko Silhouette

iichiko Silhouette is the traditional expression of shochu and Japan’s #1 shochu brand. Lighter and eminently drinkable, Silhouette pairs well with a wide range of cuisines and is traditionally enjoyed with food, at 25% ABV (alcohol by volume).

HOW TO DRINK

Silhouette is enjoyed straight or on the rocks; served with water (both cold and hot); served in a chu-hi (or shochu highball) mixed with soda and fruit juice; or served with oolong tea or matcha tea. Silhouette can also be a versatile base for low-alcohol cocktails.
