iichiko Saiten Shochu 750ML

iichiko Saiten is a premium barley shochu (mugi shochu) crafted by Sanwa Shurui Co., Ltd. in Oita Prefecture, Japan. A celebrated step up in the iichiko lineup, Saiten — meaning "festival" in Japanese — is distilled using high-quality two-row barley and white koji, then passed through a slow, single-distillation process that yields an exceptionally smooth, clean spirit with subtle grain sweetness and a delicate floral finish.

At 25% ABV, Saiten is approachable yet refined. It is enjoyed neat, on the rocks, with cold water (mizuwari), or as a base for light cocktails. Its mild character makes it a versatile choice for both shochu enthusiasts and those new to the category. The 750ML bottle is imported from Japan and sold in a 6-count case at Costco warehouse locations.
