Tsunezō

In the castle town of Usuki, Kuke Honpo has continued brewing sake since the first year of Man'en (1860). Its flagship brand is the barley shochu "Tsunezō." Kuke Honpo is a long-established brewery said to have been founded after being granted a brewery by the local lord. They specialize in making alcohol that brings out the inherent umami of ingredients, pairing perfectly with fresh fish from the Bungo Channel. "Tsunezō" is produced using a unique method that prioritizes flavor, such as slow vacuum distillation to extract the malt's richness and filtration through bamboo charcoal. A light aroma of barley floats within its clean finish. With an elegant taste that gently complements food, it is a high-performance barley shochu nurtured alongside Usuki's rich culinary culture.
