The term Ukiyo refers to “living in the moment.” This brand’s Rice Vodka is made from a harvest of long grain indica rice. This is then inoculated with black kōji, a type of yeast traditionally used for sake. After fermentation it is distilled into a traditional Japanese Awamori spirit. This Awamori rice spirit is redistilled into a pure rice spirit. The result is a skillfully made Japanse Rice Vodka.
