Riemon
'Riemon' is an imo-shochu brewed by Ibusuki Shuzo in Ibusuki City. Its name originates from 'Kan-sho-o Maeda Riemon,' the man who first brought sweet potatoes to Satsuma. It is said that in 1709, Riemon of Yamakawa, Ibusuki, brought rare tubers from Ryukyu, developed cultivation methods, and shared seedlings with local farmers. Eventually, the sweet potato took root in the Satsuma region and became the foundation of the imo-shochu culture. This brand reflects the history of the land, bearing the name of its benefactor. Its mellow and easy-to-drink flavor makes it perfect as an entry point to imo-shochu. Please enjoy this spirit born in the homeland of the sweet potato while reflecting on its history.
