Kissui - Vodka - Japan (750ml)

In 2007, Kissui was imported to the United States as the only Japanese vodka available at the time. Distilled from extremely polished rice, it has a clean and light feel on the palate and very little trace of rice flavor. The distillate is brought to proof with the prized fushi-mizu spring water from Fushimi, Kyoto, which is traditionally used in the production of sake. This lends a touch of creamy texture to the otherwise crystal-clear vodka. Its neutral character makes it best for use in cocktails, such as a Vesper or mixed with high-quality tonic water.
