Maou offers a remarkably smooth and graceful taste, unlike the robust character of many traditional sweet-potato shochu. It opens with delicate aromas of ripe peach, pear, and vanilla, followed by a gentle sweetness balanced by clean mineral undertones. The texture is silky and refined, leading to a long, mellow finish with subtle notes of steamed rice and white flowers. Its elegant fragrance and round palate make it a shochu that feels closer to fine sake in spirit — soft, pure, and beautifully balanced.
