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.
いちき串木野市に創業して百有余年。How this house works

- Ageing
- 5 of these are aged.
- Common to most of them
- aged and sweet, each recorded on at least half of these bottles.
- What they distil
- 7 bottles here, every one of them imo (sweet potato).
