Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (JAL) and Mori-Izo Shuzo Co., Ltd. (Mori-Izo) are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Shochu "Mori-Izo" inflight sales on Japan Airlines flights. The premium shochu has been exclusively offered in JAL First Class on both international and domestic flights.
As a token of JAL’s gratitude for the continued patronage of its Business Class passengers and to allow more travellers to enjoy Shochu "Mori-Izo," JAL and Mori-Izo will offer Shochu "Mori-Izo" as an exclusive one-day inflight service in Business Class on international flights departing from Japan on December 15, which also marks the anniversary of the initial release of Shochu "Mori-Izo" in 1986. This will be the first time Shochu "Mori-Izo" is offered in international Business Class, the press release said.
Shochu "Mori-Izo" is crafted using carefully selected Kogane Sengan sweet potatoes that are meticulously polished, using naturally filtered soft water that runs through the Shirasu plateau of the Takakuma mountain range. The shochu is fermented with robust yeast native to the brewery and produced using the traditional "Kame-tsubo" method, resulting in a mellow, flavourful taste and sophisticated aroma. Due to its limited production, it is known as a rare shochu.
