The Kumesen Shuzo Ukiyo whiskey is being offered as an anime-honoring spirit that adult fans of Studio Ghibli are sure to want to pick up. The spirit itself is a rice whiskey with a 50% ABV that has been distilled in Okinawa before being aged in American white oak casks. The final result is a smoky yet spicy flavor profile with just a hint of banana that leads way to notes of cinnamon, spearmint and bitter chocolate.
The Kumesen Shuzo Ukiyo whiskey puts the artwork of Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki and anime director Hayao Miyazaki in the spotlight with subtle imagery that fans are sure to spot. The spirit is available now via the distillery's Okinawa Blue shops as well as online in 700ml bottles for 7,800 yen.
