{"product_id":"nankai-shochu","title":"Nankai Shochu","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNankai Shochu\u003c\/strong\u003e is a vacuum-distilled kokuto shochu from Amami Island, Japan. Nankai states that the spirit is distilled from 80% sugarcane and 20% rice, with no added sugar, flavoring, or other additives. Vacuum distillation lowers the boiling temperature used on the fermented mash, a gentler method the producer uses to retain a refined, aromatic profile. The source item, distributor barcode catalog, exact UPC record, and package label converge on a single \u003cstrong\u003e750ml bottle at 24% ABV (48 proof)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe producer characterizes Nankai as clean, smooth, fragrant, and versatile, with pear-like aromatics, a creamy mouthfeel, and a delicate finish. The lower strength allows it to be served neat or over ice without the weight of a full-proof spirit, while its subtle salinity and umami also support highballs and cocktails. The front package identifies it as vacuum-distilled shochu and visibly states that the spirit is distilled from 80% cane and 20% rice. Serve it chilled, on the rocks, with soda, or alongside food where its restrained aroma and clean finish can remain distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nankai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53108482080949,"sku":"860458001406","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9899\/2821\/files\/Nankai-Shochu-LoveScotch-189.jpg?v=1787983251","url":"https:\/\/lovescotch.com\/products\/nankai-shochu","provider":"LoveScotch.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
