Traditional Production Process
- Fermentation: The first fermentation takes place in traditional ceramic clay pots using white koji rice. Traditionally made kokuto (local unrefined brown sugar) is added to the secondary main fermentation.
- Distillation: The mash is distilled exactly once in an atmospheric pot still to retain its raw, expressive aromatics.
- Aging: It is aged for one year in storage tanks, followed by an additional maturation of at least one year in oak casks inside the distillery warehouse. This imparts its signature golden hue and rich texture.
- Specifications: Bottled at 30% ABV (60 Proof) in a 750ml volume.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Gentle, clean, and highly fragrant, delivering faint notes of grain alongside a delicate floral nuance and light barrel aroma.
- Palate: Refined and approachable with a soft, understated sweetness. A smooth, rice-forward core seamlessly harmonizes with the deep richness of the brown sugar.
Finish: Crisp, elegant, and light without being cloying. Despite being made from sugar, the final distilled spirit contains zero sugar.
Serving Recommendations
Kana's discreet profile makes it an excellent food-pairing spirit that complements rather than overpowers dishes. It can be enjoyed:
- Neat or Room Temperature: To fully appreciate the oak barrel character and subtle sweetness.
- On the Rocks: Chilling the spirit highlights the crisp grain notes and tones down the alcohol heat.
- Mizuwari or Highball: Diluted with cool water or sparkling soda for a traditional, highly refreshing Japanese pub-style drink.
