Tomo No Hozan is a sweet potato shochu using yellow koji, which is most often found in sake. Like so many imo shochus, this one has that earthy nose. The Iichiko Hitajyoryusho Kogane No Imo Shochu uses white koji to mellow out its flavour, and a normal pressure distillation process to bring out the sweet potatoes' flavour. The initial nose has the distinctive note of roasted grains and sweet potato, while the taste has a luscious sweetness which leaves behind a crisp, dry finish.
