Houmeishu (Irie Toyosaburo Honten)

Houmeishu is a sweet and mellow medicinal liqueur that has been passed down in Tomonunaura for over 350 years. The history of Houmeishu began in Manji 2 (1659), when Kichibei Nakamura, a physician from Osaka, combined his knowledge of Chinese medicine with the sake brewing traditions of Tomonoura. It is crafted using a mirin base made primarily from glutinous rice, infused with 16 different medicinal herbs including ginseng and cinnamon. The Irie Toyosaburo Honten, founded in Meiji 19 (1886), continues to preserve these traditional production methods today. With its thick, sweet, and nutritious flavor, it is truly a Japanese-style liqueur. In every glass, you can experience the history and culture of Tomonoura, a place that still retains the atmosphere of an Edo-period port town.
