Hachiman
'Hachiman' is an imo-shochu (sweet potato shochu) handcrafted by Koraya Shuzo in Kawabe-cho, Minami-Kyushu City. In this small family-run brewery, the head of the family personally serves as the Toji (master brewer), continuing the tradition of barrel fermentation in clay pots. Production takes place only from autumn to winter when sweet potatoes are harvested, following a meticulous manual process where local potatoes are washed and prepared on the same day they are harvested. With limited production volume, it is a premium brand highly valued by shochu enthusiasts. Its characteristics include a powerful, fragrant aroma that fully captures the essence of the potato, paired with a heavy, substantial mouthfeel. When enjoyed with hot water, its rich aroma becomes even more pronounced. Please take your time to savor the complex flavors unique to clay pot fermentation.
