Questions about Sweet Potato Shochu, Daiyame 40 NV
- What is sweet potato shochu?
- Daiyame 40 is a Japanese shochu distilled from sweet potatoes in Kagoshima. It is a distilled spirit, unlike sake, and this version is bottled at a robust 40 percent alcohol.
- What is Daiyame shochu?
- Daiyame is a sweet-potato shochu from Kagoshima made by Hamada Syuzou. The 40-percent version is known for an unusually fruity aroma that can recall tropical fruit, rather than a heavy roasted-potato style.
- Is Daiyame 40 as strong as vodka?
- Daiyame 40 is the same 40 percent alcohol strength as standard vodka. Its base is sweet potato rather than neutral grain or potato spirit, so it brings more aroma to a highball or a chilled pour.
- How should I drink Daiyame 40?
- Try Daiyame 40 with chilled soda and a citrus peel to let its fruity sweet-potato aroma open up. It also works on the rocks, where the 40-percent bottling stays flavorful as the ice melts.
