Oosumi Shuzou

At Oosumi Shuzo, we preserve Kagoshima’s traditional methods of shochu production while incorporating distillation techniques developed by Suntory through their expertise in whisky-making. Through ongoing innovation, we strive to create new and delightful flavors.What we value most is craftsmanship that only humans can achieve. This commitment is evident in our meticulous process, from carefully selecting each sweet potato by hand to visually monitoring the progress of distillation with precision. This dedicated approach allows us to remove impurities and bitterness, resulting in a rich, sweet aroma and smooth flavor. Factory tours are unavailable.
