In their own words
Quoted as the company wrote it, in Japanese. Translating a house's account of itself would make the words ours rather than theirs.
明治35年、宮崎県・高千穂の地で生まれ、高千穂でずっと焼酎づくり一筋に、励んでまいりました。How this house works
Counted from the bottles below, not written about the company.
- What they distil
- 15 bottles here across 4 bases: 7 mugi (barley), 2 imo (sweet potato), 2 soba (buckwheat) and 2 kome (rice). 2 more sit outside the usual bases. Most houses here work one or two.
- Strength
- 18 to 33 percent. That is a wider spread than most houses here.
- Koji
- white and black koji all appear across these bottles, which is usually where the difference between them starts.
- Ageing
- 5 of these are aged, 3 of them in cask.
