Kushikino Shochu
Ichikikushikino City is known as a base for deep-sea tuna fishing. Boasting one of the highest numbers of fishing vessels in Japan, it has flourished as a town of fishermen. In this vibrant port town, sweet potato shochu production has been active since ancient times. Kagoshima's sweet potato shochu is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting sweet potatoes and rice koji with pure water before distillation. A full-bodied shochu has been loved for the evening drinks of fishermen returning from long voyages. It pairs perfectly with tuna dishes and the local specialty, Satsuma-age (fried fish cakes). It is a drink you'll want to savor with hot water while imagining the vitality of the port town filled with the scent of the sea. Please enjoy it while picturing the lively nights of this fishing town.
