the typical intensity of potato shochu with its remarkably elegant and sophisticated profile. Visually crystal clear with delicate legs, it greets the nose with a gorgeous, fruity bouquet reminiscent of lychee and ripe plums, thanks to the use of yellow koji. The earthy pungency common to traditional shochu is replaced by a refined floral aroma akin to premium Ginjo sake. On the palate, the texture is extraordinarily silky and smooth, with almost no alcoholic bite. A subtle, natural sweetness of Satsuma yam unfolds across a light, balanced body. The finish is crisp and clean, leaving behind a faint, ethereal trail of fruitiness that beckons for another sip—truly a masterpiece "coveted by the demon world."

Special Notes
About The Brewery
Shiratama Jiyouzou (白玉醸造)
Established in 1904 on the Osumi Peninsula at the southernmost tip of mainland Japan, Shiradama Jozo has mastered the art of shochu. By increasing the proportion of koji, they have crafted a spirit that balances a mellow flavor with a crisp, refined finish, minimizing the harshness typical of potato shochu. While their flagship "Shiradama no Tsuyu" remains a staple, the world-renowned "Ma-o" stands as their masterpiece. With its elegant profile and smooth drinkability, Ma-o has captured the hearts of enthusiasts since the distillery’s inception.
