宮崎県·焼酎
Shiiba Shochu
Shiiba Village, counted as one of Japan's three great hidden regions, is a village nestled deep within the Kyushu Mountains. Miyazaki Prefecture has long been the 'Shochu Kingdom,' holding the top spot in Japan for authentic shochu shipments, and even in this remote area, shochu utilizing the blessings of the mountains has been carefully brewed in the traditional manner. Brewed with buckwheat, grains, and potatoes grown in the steep mountains using clear mountain water, this shochu possesses an unadultered, simple, and powerful taste. It is a drink unique to a land where life and nature are deeply intertwined, as evidenced by the folk song 'Hietzuki-bushi' that continues to be sung by villagers today. This is a shochu you want to savor slowly by an irori (sunken hearth) paired with mountain delicacies. It possesses a depth that seems to reflect the stillness of the remote region and the deep scent of the mountains directly in your cup.
