Kikusui Shuzo Ryoma Rhum Japonais
A polarizing Japanese sugarcane rum with clear sake, vegetal and herbal notes. Some RumX members find it uniquely complex and smooth; many others find it thin, alcoholic and confusing as a “rum”.
Curious explorers into Japanese spirits, shochu or sake fans, and rum drinkers wanting an off‑beat, herbal, agricole‑adjacent profile at an easy 40% ABV.

How does Kikusui Shuzo Ryoma Rhum Japonais taste?
Weird, sake‑like rum curiosity
If you enjoy agricole, sake or shochu and like trying oddballs, this is worth a glass; if you want a textbook molasses rum, you’ll likely be disappointed.
Beginners expecting classic sweet caramel rum, anyone wanting rich tropical fruit or cask strength intensity, and purists who dislike sake or very atypical rum profiles.

More cleaving there is not!!! A real UFO, if you like the extra terrestrial ones it is gained if not you leave running. One day I like it, one day I don't, a real curiosity that will not leave you indifferent but that will certainly not make the unanimity.
Auto-translatedSurprisingly sweet and smooth
Nase: Erinnert an Agricole, sehr würzig und deutliche Zuckerrohraromen. Gaumen: Würzig warm zu Beginn, dann Kräuter, Tee. Es folgt Schokolade. Abgang: Die pflanzlichen Aromen sowie die Würze halten sich lange, bevor leichte Rauchnoten durchschimmern. Fazit: Ausgefalleneres Exemplar. Es überwiegen pflanzliche und kräuterige Noten mit einem Hauch Schoko. Mir gefällt der Japaner.
Tasted only once and I didn't like it, alcoholic in the nose and in the mouth. Sake scent, as if there was a problem...Then, a little better with herbal notes. It has nothing of a tropical rum.
