– From October to November 2025<\/span>, Shochu- and Sake-pairing Menu, as Well as Shochu Cocktails, to Be Offered at Special Event Prices –<\/p>\n

MIYAKONOJO, Japan<\/span><\/span>, Oct. 15, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — To showcase the goodness of “honkaku shochu” or authentic distilled spirit, Kirishima Shuzo Co., Ltd., Japan’s<\/span> top* distiller of the traditional liquor, will host an event, “Sushi x Japan’s<\/span> Top ‘Shochu’ Experience – KIRISHIMA NIGHT,” in the U.S. from Thursday, October 23<\/span>, to Saturday, October 25<\/span>, and from Thursday, October 30<\/span>, to Saturday, November 1, 2025<\/span>. The event, limited to a period of 6 days, will take place at TsuruTonTan Midtown in New York City<\/span>.<\/p>\n

At “KIRISHIMA NIGHT,” the first 12 parties of two each (24 people in total) per day with reservations from the ticketing website (https:\/\/kirishima_night_2025autumn.eventbrite.com<\/a>) will be offered a shochu- and sake-pairing menu at the special price of $24.99<\/span> per person. Additionally, shochu cocktails will be offered at the special price of $8<\/span>.<\/p>\n

To be offered will be two types of shochu crafted by Kirishima Shuzo: Kuro Kirishima, known for its signature round sweetness with a crisp aftertaste, and KIRISHIMA No.8, characterized by its fresh fruit note reminiscent of muscat and mandarin oranges. In addition, enjoy a sake offering selected by the restaurant. For a perfect pairing, TsuruTonTan Midtown has curated a special menu for this event: Assorted Nigiri Sushi & Sashimi Set and Miso-Nikomi Udon (noodle stew in miso broth).<\/p>\n

In recent years, the export of Japan<\/span>-made alcoholic beverages such as sake and whiskey is increasing in volume and gaining popularity worldwide. Additionally, in 2024, “traditional knowledge and skills of sake-making with koji mold in Japan<\/span>” was registered on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Shochu is also a type of distilled liquor made with koji, yeast, and materials such as sweet potatoes in its fermentation process. Shochu is a traditional Japanese liquor that has established its rare position as a distilled spirit that can be enjoyed during meals, but its worldwide recognition is still rather low. Kirishima Shuzo wishes for this event to be a trigger for the world to recognize the goodness of shochu through its food pairings.<\/p>\n

The company hopes that many will participate in this event as an opportunity to discover some traditional Japanese liquor and delicious cuisine.<\/p>\n
