We began from going on our honeymoon to Mai’s bi We began from going on our honeymoon to Mai’s birthplace — Amami Island, to completely falling in love with shochu, and finally deciding in October 2017 to make shochu our way of life. As we look to our 8th year as the owner-operators of Nankai Group, we see many tough challenges ahead, but we are blessed to have the inspiring support of our distillery, brewery, and distribution partners. @machida.shuzo @nikaido.shochu @ooyamajin7_official @moonbloomsake @tenshisake @sojasake @sgwinespirits @tian_beverage @mtcsake And of course, we would not be here without the restaurants, bars, retailers, and drink enthusiasts that have supported our lineup. We hope all of you will continue to join us on this journey of exploring the exciting possibilities of Japanese spirits and sake! Thank you and Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! #shochu #sake #japanesedrink #amami #oita #kagoshima #nagano #hyogo #okayama #smallbusiness #import #craftspirits #japanesesake
Happy Halloween! Enjoy your own personal spookfest Happy Halloween! Enjoy your own personal spookfest with Nankai Shochu by making this simple but creepy cocktail shot, created by @mle_fam at @shogun_sd. MEDAMA OYAJI (Old Man Eyeball) 1 oz Nankai Shochu 1 oz Soho Lychee Liqueur 1 Lychee 1 Luxardo or Maraschino Cherry Splash of Grenadine Combine Nankai Shochu and lychee liqueur in a cocktail shaker with ice. (Multiply the oz by the number of shots you want to make to batch it.) Shake well to chill and dilute. Pour into shot glass. Place the cherry inside the lychee and garnish the shot. Splash grenadine over the lychee to make it look like a bloody eyeball. Boo(m)! Medama Oyaji (目玉おやじ) is a main character from the anime “GeGeGe no Kitaro” (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎), one of our favorites growing up. #nankai #nankaishochu #shochu #kokutoshochu #shochucocktail #cocktailrecipes #shot #cocktailshot #halloween #halloweencocktails #spookycocktails #anime #gegegenokitaro #南海 #焼酎 #黒糖焼酎 #奄美大島 #カクテル #ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 #目玉おやじ

@ikinorisushi was recently ranked as the best hand @ikinorisushi was recently ranked as the best handrolls in LA by @infatuation_la and it’s well-deserved. We love pairing their fresh and creative flavor combinations with our shochu and cocktails. But beyond that, the team at Iki Nori and Iki Ramen are just good people and absolutely worth supporting. #Ikinori #handrolls #losangeles #sushi #bestsushi #shochu #ubehorchata #nankaishochu #nankaiwhiteoak #kokutoshochu #shochucocktails
If you haven’t had shochu yet and you’re not c If you haven’t had shochu yet and you’re not convinced of how good it is in cocktails, you need to try this absolutely killer cocktail from @thebarspoonknight — the Pineapple Lychee Martini.

We love shochu and we love our jobs, but after 7 y We love shochu and we love our jobs, but after 7 years, we took our first big vacation. We traveled through France, Upper Bavaria, and Italy. And of course, we spent much of it trying new drinks. In France we enjoyed wines, beers, and Lillet cocktails. In Bavaria, we fell in loves with local beers, single malt Bavarian whiskey, and Radlers. In Italy, we drank beer, spritzes (my favorite was with a Venetian aperitif called Select), sambuca, grappa and wine (especially the local varietals in Cinque Terre). In our quest to share shochu with the world, it’s important to know what the rest of the world drinks, too. #shochu #nankaishochu #wine #beer #spritz #bavarianbeer #sambuca #italiandrink #spirits #travel #vacationdrinks
