Shibushi, a millennium commercial capital with the theme of ``port,'' is located at the base of the Osumi Peninsula, with a warm climate typical of southern countries, and is a tourist attraction such as Birow Island and Cape Dagri, which is surrounded by a rich natural environment with subtropical plants. It is also a famous place.
The origin of the word "Shibushi" is that when Emperor Tenji was living in what is now Shibushi Anraku, the landlady and the female children weaved cloth together and presented it to them. The prevailing theory is that Emperor Tenji visited the temple (around 660), which states that it was Shibushi.
Shibushi is blessed with a rich natural environment and is said to be a treasure trove of fresh live fish.
Carefully selected high-quality materials
The Osumi Peninsula, which juts out in the southeastern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, is known as Japan's number one producer of sweet potatoes.
As a raw material for potato shochu, a high amount of starch is an important condition.
Shibushi is famous for producing high-quality ``Koganesengan'', and the harvest season begins in mid-August after the end of the Obon period and lasts until December in early winter.
Wakashio Sake Brewery's goal is to achieve the unique taste and aroma of the brewery and to produce shochu of stable quality using modern technology such as computers, as well as traditional handcrafting experience and wisdom cultivated at Senkokugura. We incorporate technology.
By mass producing shochu through mechanization, we are now able to consistently deliver high quality shochu to our customers.
Wakashio Sake Brewery starts with a "large rotating drum" that can automatically perform everything from washing rice to soaking and making koji, to a large steamer for steaming the raw material sweet potatoes, tanks for primary and secondary preparation, and storage tanks for aging shochu. We will continue to challenge ourselves so that as many customers as possible can drink our shochu with peace of mind and satisfaction.
