Nankai Shochu
It’s almost our 5-year anniversary since startin It’s almost our 5-year anniversary since starting Nankai Shochu, and one of the things we’ve realized is that our journey isn’t just about shochu. It’s a “flavor journey” (to quote Bob from Las Vegas when he tasted Nankai Gold). Today’s stop on our flavor journey is with fresh curry leaves. This was inspired by our love for South Indian cuisine and a ridiculously good infusion that @eatyourdrink once did with Nankai Gold. THE BANGALORIAN 3 oz Nankai Shochu 6-8 Fresh Curry Leaves 1 oz Simple Syrup 0.75 oz Lime Juice 1/2 tsp Grated Ginger 1 pinch Cumin Muddle curry leaves with Nankai, lime, and syrup in shaker. Add ginger, cumin and ice. Shake vigorously. Double strain into cocktail glass and serve. (This cocktail has nothing to do with the Mandalorian obviously, but couldn’t resist.) Would love to hear what our fellow cocktail enthusiasts and foodies would pair with this cocktail! #nankaishochu #nankai #nankaigold #shochu #kokutoshochu #amami #奄美大島 #焼酎 #黒糖焼酎 #カクテル #curryleaves #ginger #cumin #bangalore #bangalorefoodies #southindianfood #cocktails #cocktailrecipes #drinks #drinkstagram #cocktailsofinstagram #daiquiri #spiced #shochucocktail #vacuumdistilled #lowabv #cocktailporn #cocktailphotography
Today is our co-founder @mai_nankai ‘s birthday. Today is our co-founder @mai_nankai ‘s birthday. (Happy Birthday! 🥳) But this is a good time to talk about how female-driven shochu companies are still a rare thing. Interestingly though, our distillery was started by a woman. Taka Ishihara and her husband grew rice for a living, but given the delicious Amami water, they wanted to make shochu. Like Nankai, it took them about 3 years to start the business as they learned about distilling. Just as the distillery was about to launch, her husband died, and Taka was forced to take over all duties, including master distiller. She continued for close to 30 years before passing on the reins. Her legacy is now part of our story, too, and we’ll work hard to spread the word about the beauty of Amami’s kokuto shochu. We might even have a few barrels left of her last batch. 🤫 #nankai #nankaishochu #shochu #nankaigold #kokutoshochu #amami #奄美大島 #焼酎 #黒糖焼酎 #distillery #originstory #beginnings #womeninbusiness #womendistillers
Figs are back in season so it’s time to bring ba Figs are back in season so it’s time to bring back our fig cocktail, the Pink Wasp. It’s named for its gorgeous color and the fact that fig wasps die while pollinating female figs and are absorbed into the fruit. Don’t worry— the crunchy parts of the figs are seeds and not wasp parts. THE PINK WASP 2 oz Nankai Shochu/Gold 2 Black Mission Figs 0.5 oz Honey Syrup (1:1) 0.25 oz Lemon Juice Muddle figs in shaker and then add Nankai, honey and lemon. Shake with ice. Double strain into cocktail glass and enjoy. #nankaishochuofficial #nankaishochu #fig #nankaigold #shochu #honey #daiquiri #cocktailrecipes #焼酎 #いちじく #黒糖焼酎 #黒糖 #カクテル #cocktails #cocktailsofinstagram #drinkstagram #shochucocktail #figs #bestcocktails #japanesecocktail #blackmissionfigs #classiccocktails #drinkoftheday #seasonaldrinks #wasp #figwasp #figs #pinkdrink
Our Banana Gold Fashioned is absolutely delicious Our Banana Gold Fashioned is absolutely delicious (if we do say so ourselves) and as a 3-ingredient cocktail, is incredibly easy. We start with Nankai Gold, which is our barrel-finished blended kokuto shochu. Kokuto (“black sugar”) shochu goes well with banana and so we use @tempus_fugit_spirits Crème de Banane instead of a sugar cube. Add @angosturahouse bitters and the result is a lovely Old Fashioned with banana caramel notes and it’s not too sweet. You can also garnish with an expressed orange peel and a @lilys_sweets dark chocolate rim. BANANA GOLD FASHIONED 1.5 oz Nankai Gold 0.5 oz Banana Liqueur 2-3 dashes Angostura Bitters Garnish: Orange Peel and Dark Chocolate Rim Combine and add large ice cube. Stir to chill. Garnish and serve. Make 2 in advance to save yourself the trouble of going back to the kitchen. #nankaishochu #nankaigold #kokutoshochu #shochu #barrelaged #oldfashioned #oldfashionedcocktail #goldfashioned #banana #bananacocktail #classiccocktails #drink #drinkoftheday #shochucocktails #cocktails #cocktailofinstagram #cocktailporn #焼酎 #黒糖焼酎 #奄美大島 #whisky #bananaliqueur #cocktailrecipes #japanesecocktail #homebar #homebartender
NEW STICKER GIVEAWAY! We made some stickers to gi NEW STICKER GIVEAWAY! We made some stickers to give out at our events. Simply tag us in a photo of a Nankai Shochu or Nankai Gold bottle (even if it’s at a store) or a Nankai cocktail, and we’ll send you a sticker! You can choose between the clear Nankai Shochu sticker or the aluminum brushed Nankai Gold sticker. Or do it twice and get both! Giveaway ends in 2 weeks on 9/8 or while supplies last. TRIVIA: The sticker designs are based on our labels, which have stories to tell. Our Nankai Shochu label represents our Japanese and Asian-American background. The fractal blue triangles specifically represent the clear blue waters of Amami Island and our modern vacuum distillation methods. Our Nankai Gold label is an intricate Japanese-style tattoo by @alexanderjoo that tells the story of Amami Island. The snake is a Habu Pit Viper, a highly venomous species local to Amami. The hibiscus is not a native flower but is omnipresent and represents the many outside influences on Amami’s culture and history. #nankaishochu #nankaigold #shochu ⁣#contest #contestalert #contestgiveaway #design #drawing #free #freegiveaway #giveaway #giveawayalert #giveawaycontest #giveaways #giveawaytime #giveawaywinner #instagiveaway #instagood #repost #sticker #stickeraddict #stickerart #stickerartist #stickerbomb #stickerdesign #stickerlove #stickers #stickershop
