Rice Shochu_Amakusa Shuzo / Special Rice Shochu Amakusa

熊本県／天草酒造

*Reiwa 7 (2025) 4th "Liquor Store's Choice Shochu Award" Excellence Award Winner

The regular Junmai Shochu "Amakusa" is made using local rice (Koshihikari rice is used for the koji rice) and pure brewing water, and is slowly fermented at extremely low temperatures in earthenware jars. The mash is carefully distilled, and is delicious enough to drink as sake on its own. The subtle ginjo aroma pairs well with food.

In contrast, this "Tokuchu Amakusa" uses Nishikai 134 (commonly known as "The Earth's Radiance"), a type of rice suitable for sake brewing, for the koji rice. It was named "Tokuchu Amakusa" with the meaning of "special shochu." It has a stronger, fuller flavor.

Producer/Brewery ( Kumamoto Prefecture / Amakusa Sake Brewery (Ikeno Tsuyu) )

This shochu brewery was founded in 1899 in Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. While it is said that there are not many breweries that make shochu by hand, starting from koji, they are committed to making everything by hand, including koji making, and they also produce the rice and potatoes that are used as ingredients in-house, demonstrating a strong commitment to "handmade x agriculture."
