WHAT IS 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.
With a strong start and a long finish, you’ll find flavours of jasmine tea, white peache, and earthy minerals with some citrus and a saline finish that beckons another sip.
A honkaku shochu, the highest grade of shochu, made from two-row barley and distilled once.
