The business is currently in the hands of a fifth-generation master brewer, Tadashi Yanagita, who, much to their benefit, also holds a background in engineering. His tinkering spirit made sure that all their equipment got upgraded — making modifications to their filters, ramps, and pot stills. He also made the imperative switch from atmospheric to vacuum pressure, which allowed their spirits to get even more light and aromatic. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBeing the first distillery to develop a 100% barley shochu made in a low-pressure vacuum still, they absolutely stand out in that department — trying out a wide variety of different styles and tweaking the small subtleties that make each expression shine in its own light. The Koma Honkaku Barley Shochu is made from 100% locally grown two-row barley with a helping hand from the Koji fungi, which diligently extract the sugars. A low and slow fermentation that leads to a singular vacuum still distillation (gen-atsu) results in a supremely smooth, buttery spirit that delights with its refreshing grassy notes. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrab your bottle of this delicious Koma Honkaku Barley Shochu today!                                        \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Other Spirits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe understand that some people are explorers at heart, and the classics just won't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those people, many other unique spirits are not listed in the main categories but are still worth the mention, such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=absinthe\"\u003eabsinthe\u003c\/a\u003e, aperitivos, and other Special spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou're welcome to check our excellent \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/\"\u003especial spirit selection\u003c\/a\u003e, find your favorite in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/top-10-other\/\"\u003eTop 10 list of other spirits\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/?price=0-50\"\u003eBest other spirits under $50\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Caskers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51411647561941,"sku":null,"price":57.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/the-yanagita-koma-honkaku-barley-shochu_1.jpg?v=1745566070","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/the-yanagita-koma-honkaku-barley-shochu","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
