Kuma Shochu (Distillery in Yumae Town)
A clear, crisp aroma followed by the soft sweetness of rice and a rich, lingering finish. It is a flavor unique to rice shochu that gently warms the body. Yumae Town is located in the southeastern part of the Kuma region and is one of the production areas for Kuma Shochu. Kuma Shochu is an authentic shochu with a protected designation of origin, which can only be labeled as such if it is made using only rice as an ingredient and brewed, distilled, and bottled using the groundwater of the Hitoyoshi-Kuma region. With a history of approximately 500 years, it is one of the few brands in Japan to have its Geographical Indication recognized by the World Trade Organization, much like Scotch or Bordeaux. A cup of pride born from the climate of Hitoyoshi-Kuma, which was ruled by the Sagara clan for 700 years. It is a local shochu you'll want to savor slowly at a local izakaya.
