【Authentic Imo Shochu Kendo】

The comeback that imo shochu fans have been waiting for is about to begin.

On October 23, 2025, Kenzo Co., Ltd. Ushinoo Distillery, the 110th new shochu distillery in Kagoshima, was born after receiving a license for single distillation shochu production.
The representative is the agricultural brewer, "Mr. Kentaro Yagi."

Kentaro Yagi is known as the genius of imo shochu production, who, as the representative of Yachiyoden Shuzo, brought innovative imo shochu to the world.

In September 2023, the industry was shocked.
After nearly three years of silence, Kentaro Yagi has finally made his comeback to the shochu industry!

This "Kendo," the flagship brand of Kenzo Co., Ltd. Ushinoo Distillery, is brewed using black koji as the base koji and Kogane Sengan, and distilled under atmospheric pressure.
As it is the first year, it is naturally made only with new shochu, without any aged shochu blends.

You can feel the aroma of high-quality steamed sweet potatoes, with the pure umami of sweet potatoes, refined sweetness, and a lingering finish.
The second shochu story of the agricultural brewer "Kentaro Yagi," who made a comeback from rock bottom, begins here!
