Product Overview
Nikaido Shochu Dodgers Edition
Celebrate the spirit of Japan's national drink and one of baseball's most iconic franchises with the Nikaido Shochu Dodgers Edition. This limited-edition release showcases Nikaido's renowned 100% barley (mugi) shochu in a custom Los Angeles Dodgers commemorative bottle, created to honor the brand's partnership as the Official Shochu of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Crafted in Oita Prefecture, Japan, by the Nikaido family—masters of shochu production since 1866—this special edition brings together Japanese craftsmanship and Dodger pride in one collectible bottle.
Distilled from carefully selected barley using traditional techniques, Nikaido Shochu is exceptionally smooth, crisp, and clean with delicate aromas of toasted grain, subtle fruit, and a soft, refined finish. Lower in alcohol than many traditional spirits, it is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed neat, over ice, with soda as a refreshing highball, or in a variety of cocktails.
Whether you're a Dodgers fan, a Japanese spirits enthusiast, or a collector of limited-edition releases, the Nikaido Shochu Dodgers Edition offers a unique combination of heritage, craftsmanship, and baseball culture.
