Ukiyo Japanese Rice Vodka

Get floating in the present moment with Ukiyo Japanese Rice Vodka.

The Japanese are known for their honored Sake and Whisky, but they are surely making a splash with their clear Spirits, too. Ukiyo is one such trendsetter; with them, it is not a 'who' but a 'what,' as the term captures a state of mind focusing on the current moment detached from all that is bad in this world. Known for their elegant gins, Ukiyo also features Japanese Blossom and Yuzu Gin—two mighty giants standing on the shoulders of the Kagoshima province. The brand has now lusciously greeted the release of its legendary Japanese Rice Vodka.

Ukiyo Japanese Rice Vodka continues the joyous Japanese Spirit distilling tradition and is not afraid of a bit of competition from its distant northern neighbors. Hailing from the Hawaii of Japan (Okinawa), this saucy Spirit has been carefully crafted from the traditional Japanese Awamori Spirit. A considerable amount of long-grain indica rice is needed to distill this Japanese beauty. Later on, that rice is married with black kōji—fermented black rice—and together, they sit cozily until they are married into an Awamori spirit. Finally, they are redistilled into Ukiyo's pure rice vodka, producing one naughty and surprisingly nice liquor. Bottled at 40% ABV, this clear Spirit is known for its subtle aroma and luxurious mouthfeel. We can certainly imagine a better world habitat with Ukiyo's pure Rice Vodka in hand.
