Kirishima Shuzo’s most well-known brand, beloved by generations of shochu drinkers. A smooth flavor that retains the full-bodied richness of sweet potato while offering a gentle aroma.
In 1916 Founder Kichisuke Enatsu begins manufacturing Honkaku (single distillation) Shochu in Kawahigashi, Miyakonojo, Miyazaki Prefecture under the Kawahigashi Enatsu Shoten name, the forerunner of Kirishima Shuzo.
Having taken their name from Mount Kirishima, a local symbol, they believe it is their duty to see that these individual activities help protect their local environment and lead to the production of quality ingredients.
By-products of shochu production, such as shochu lees and potato leavings are recycled to generate energy, part of their proactive participation in local environmental conservation efforts.
We recommend enjoying Shiro Kirishima with hot water to fully enjoy the rich sweet potato aroma.
