Kagoshima Shochu Distillery Tour

Kagoshima Prefecture is the home of sweet potato shochu, and Kirishima City is home to many historic distilleries. During the distillery tour, you can observe the entire process from selecting sweet potatoes as raw materials to koji-making, distillation, and aging, and taste freshly made shochu. It's also enjoyable to compare the different production methods and flavors unique to each distillery. Some distilleries offer limited edition purchases and hands-on shochu-making experiences.
