Coffee and alcohol — many think their stimulating and relaxing effects might clash, yet when crafted well, coffee liqueurs carry an irresistible magic that keeps you coming back for sip after sip. Toji Coffee Liqueur is exactly that: low in sweetness, rich in roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes, with a light 8% ABV that makes it perfect for unwinding after work (or even during a long day).

Pour into a glass, and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee rises, layered with dark chocolate. Smooth on the palate, the sweetness is delicately brief, quickly giving way to bold coffee richness, gentle cocoa bitterness, and a hint of acidity. The flavors linger long after each sip, while the alcohol is so subtle you’d hardly believe it’s 8% — just enough to leave a gentle warmth in your chest.

The name Toji refers to the master brewer in a sake brewery — a title of utmost responsibility. Naming the liqueur after the Toji is like saying, “The master guarantees the quality.” Crafted with deeply roasted coffee beans infused into authentic Kuma Shochu, this drink achieves a natural harmony between coffee and rice spirit.

Versatile and playful, it can be enjoyed chilled, with milk, over ice cream, or sweetened with syrup — however you like it.

Produced by Tsutsumi Shuzo in Kumamoto’s Kuma region, the birthplace of Kuma Shochu with over 500 years of history. Known as a “hidden gem spirit” once prized by samurai and nobles, the region’s shochu was officially recognized in 1995 as a geographically protected designation, ensuring strict quality standards.

Whether paired with music in a quiet moment alone, or as a creative mixer, Toji Coffee Liqueur is the perfect companion for relaxation.
