Kyushu, the third largest island of Japan, is a remarkable region for the production of spirits, particularly thanks to its rich cultural and natural heritage. Known for its sake, it is also distinguished by its shochu, an authentic spirit that attracts connoisseurs from around the world. Kyushu's mild and temperate climate, combined with fertile volcanic soils, provides ideal conditions for cultivating the ingredients used in the distillation of shochu, such as barley, sweet potato, and rice.
The diversity of base materials allows Kyushu to offer a varied range of shochu, with each variant offering unique flavour profiles, from soft and floral notes to earthy and spicy hints. The distilleries, often family-owned and steeped in tradition, blend ancestral techniques with modern innovations, ensuring a quality product.
