Japan's southernmost refined sake maker has made full use of its brewing techniques to reflect the benefits of the a and b classes of shochu in the taste of awamori, okinawan local liquor. The distillery, located in the Central area of the okinawan main island, specializes in the awamori brand hantabaru, it is also japan's southernmost sake brewery. Because refined sake calls for cold temperatures, the tradition of sake-making did not develop in the southern island of okinawa. Instead, it nurtured its local distilled liquor called awamori. But the brewery founder, shigeshi yasuda, who studied agricultural chemistry at the present iwate university, decided to challenge the limits of brewing technology in okinawa. Since the brewery was founded in 1952, mr. Yasuda had acquired licenses to manufacture a class shochu, awamori, whiskey, liqueurs and refined sake. The representative awamori and japanese refined sake brands he created are "hantabaru" and "reimei". In addition, we can provide you with the japanese premium brands of sake and shochu liquor as your private brands. Please try them once!!
