The history of Kirishima Shuzo begins with a culture of shochu deeply rooted in the lands of Southern Kyushu. No description of Kirishima Shuzo’s Honkaku Shochu would be complete without mentioning the people, climate and culture behind it. For a century, our shochu has been produced hand-in-hand with the people of Southern Kyushu and the unchanging bounty of our natural environment, which provide the inspiration that enables us to offer the finest-tasting shochu.
