iichiko Shinwa is a Japanese Honkaku shochu, the most strictly regulated style of shochu, made from 100% barley. The name Shinwa means ‘harmonious heart’ and was developed to create a specific flavour profile in collaboration with globally renowned Japanese bartenders. Distilled at the family-run Sanwa Shurui distillery on the southern island of Kyushu, the birthplace of this spirit and home to the 500-year distilling tradition, iichiko Shinwa embodies both tradition and innovation.
