St. George California Shochu 750ml
Our friends at Oakland’s Ramen Shop put their own California spin on venerable Japanese culinary traditions. Inspired by their creativity, we sought out to make a full-flavored shochu from California rice that would complement a hearty bowl of ramen.
Master distiller Lance Winters did the art direction for the label in conjunction with artist/illustrator Lauren Asta. The design is a mash-up of the California state flag and the national flag of Japan. If you translate the kanji (Japanese characters), the bear is saying “angry bear sound.”
