Region
Amami Island Brown Sugar Shochu Collection 18-year Vintage (500 Set Ltd. Edition) is produced in Kagoshima prefecture.
Producer
Yayoi Shochu Brewery
Kagoshima Prefecture
Yayoi Shochu Brewery uses Thai rice, which has a more stable water absorption rate than Japanese rice and so is more suitable for malting in an automatic system. After cooling the steamed rice, which is first fully washed and prepped, they introduce koji spores and maintain a key aging temperature for 40 hours, allowing the koji to produce a large amount of citric acid. Then, brown sugar melted in high-temperature steam and the fermented rice meet to create the brewery's shochu.
