DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Japan's most celebrated shochu — iichiko Silhouette is the benchmark barley shochu that introduced the world to the clean, refined character of Oita Prefecture's finest spirit. Crafted from 100% two-row barley and pure underground water from the mountains of Oita, iichiko is the shochu that converts skeptics into devotees.
Crystal clear and elegantly aromatic, iichiko Silhouette delivers delicate barley grain, subtle floral notes, and a clean, smooth finish with a gentle warmth that makes it as versatile as it is refined. Enjoy it on the rocks ("on the rocks" style is called "rokku" in Japan), with cold water, warm water, or in cocktails as a lower-ABV spirit base.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is shochu?
- Shochu is a Japanese distilled spirit typically made from barley, sweet potato, rice, or buckwheat. It's lower in alcohol than most Western spirits (usually 25–35% ABV) and is Japan's most consumed spirit category.
- How is shochu different from sake?
- Sake is a fermented rice wine (not distilled), while shochu is a distilled spirit. Shochu is stronger, clearer, and has a more neutral flavor profile than sake.
- What's the best way to drink iichiko?
- The most popular ways are "mizuwari" (with cold water, 1:1 ratio), "on the rocks," or "oyuwari" (with warm water). It's also excellent in cocktails as a lower-ABV substitute for vodka or gin.
- Is shochu gluten-free?
- iichiko is made from barley, which contains gluten. However, distillation typically removes gluten proteins. Those with celiac disease should consult their doctor before consuming.
