Shochu is a spirit that spans four hundred years of history and I’ve dusted off a bottle to try myself. Okay, my Haamonii Smooth Lemon Shochu bottle isn’t four hundred years old but it’s based on ancient tradition and Haamonii has brought their own recipe to the industry known has Haamonii Smooth.
This spirit, also known as soju, is a Japanese distilled spirit much like that of vodka but it brings its own natural tastes to the party instead of staying “neutral” in flavor. Shochu flavors are subtle yet distinct and, although I’ve reviewed Haamonii Smooth, this is my first attempt at a Lemon Haamonii Smooth review.
Poured in a glass you’ll find Haamoni (“Harmony” in Japanese) to be clear in color much like that of a well distilled vodka. The nose of Haamonii’s Lemon Shochu reminds me of sprite cola. A deeper sniff gives me the essence of a lemon zest as if it were dripping off the glass itself but with less potent acids. This is undoubtedly lemon.
