Description
What kind of spirit is this?
EIKO Japanese Vodka, produced by Etsu in Japan, is a pure, crystal-clear spirit with an alcohol content of 40%. Distilled from sugarcane molasses, it offers a beautifully balanced profile. The nose reveals soft, sweet, and fresh aromas, leading to a rounded palate characterised by a silky texture. Notes of liquorice and sugarcane emerge, creating a refined tasting experience that culminates in a crisp, long-lasting finish.
Geographical origin
Originating from the island of Hokkaido in Japan, this spirit is produced in Asahikawa. The production process relies on crystal-clear local water, a fundamental element that ensures the absolute clarity and harmonious taste of the liquid. Named after the Japanese word for ‘Glory’, Eiko holds the distinction of being the first Japanese vodka introduced to the European market. These pristine natural resources directly shape its transparent appearance and fresh aromatic profile.
How it is produced
Production begins with sugarcane molasses, which undergoes a rigorous triple distillation to yield a remarkably clean liquid. The spirit is then subjected to a quadruple filtration process using sand, charcoal, white birch, and coal wood to maximise purity and softness. This meticulous method results in a supple mouthfeel that balances the notes of liquorice and sugarcane. To fully appreciate its crisp profile, it is ideally served between 5 and 10 °C, enjoyed neat, over ice, or in cocktails alongside savoury snacks.
History and Heritage
Meaning ‘glory’ in Japanese, Eiko is celebrated as the first Japanese vodka introduced to the European market. It triumphed at the 2018 World Vodka Awards.
