{"product_id":"nikaido-mugi-shochu-dodgers-edition-900ml","title":"Nikaido Mugi Shochu Dodgers Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dodgers Edition of Nikaido Oita Mugi Shochu carries an exclusive label in Dodger Blue, released after Nikaido Shuzo and the Los Angeles Dodgers announced a partnership in February 2025 naming Nikaido the Official Shochu of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the first shochu poured at a Major League ballpark. Inside the bottle is the same 100% barley shochu that made the brand: Nikaido Shuzo was founded in 1866 in Hiji-machi, Oita, as a sake brewery, moved to shochu in 1949, and in the early 1970s sixth-generation president Akira Nikaido developed a method for making koji entirely from barley. The first 100% mugi shochu was released in 1974 and drove the growth of what is now Japan's most popular spirit category; 99.6% of Oita shochu is barley-based today. Vacuum distillation preserves the delicate floral aromas, and the producer describes the spirit as smooth, crisp and bright with a richly aromatic fruity barley heart. Bottled at 24% ABV in a 900ml bottle, it is served neat, on the rocks or as the Nikaido highball with soda and lemon, as at the Dodger Stadium bars where it is poured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Nikaido Mugi Shochu Dodgers Edition 900ml online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikaido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752242417920,"sku":"C0010595L","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/nikaido-mugi-shochu-dodgers-edition-900ml_10c22ff2-3fab-4de0-86df-14c2fcf7c45a.jpg?v=1792879880","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/nikaido-mugi-shochu-dodgers-edition-900ml","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
