Japanese shochu is a distilled spirit that is remarkably smooth 

 and  light with delicate, earthy notes seldom found in Western spirits.   These  distinctive flavors are a tribute to the local harvests - typically   barley,  sweet potato, sugar cane or rice - and are rooted in a deep   appreciation  for the purity and perfection found in nature 

 As part of their entry into the  global spirits market, Nehan approached   TLR to help them  conceptualize and design a new bottle and branding   for their flagship product - Mizunomai Shochu.
