[Samurai's Gate]

A reproduction of the sweet potato shochu that Kagoshima samurai would have drunk from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period

For the koji rice, they use the mythical rice "Shiratamamai," which ceased production during the Meiji period. This rice can only be harvested in small quantities and is very expensive. For the sweet potato, they use "Genji potato," which is said to be the roots of modern potatoes.
These ingredients are brewed in traditional earthenware jars.

It has a mild yet deep potato aroma. It has a mellow taste, followed by a rich sweetness and umami flavor, and a refined aftertaste before finishing off smoothly.

○ From the Takubo Sake Brewery official website
Takubo Shuzo Co., Ltd. is not a manufacturer that mass-produces shochu on a factory line.
We continue to stick to the traditional "earthenware jar brewing" method. It is a source of pride for the brewers and other people involved in shochu production, and it is also a tradition to lovingly and carefully complete each and every step while aiming for quality over mass production.
The many shochu produced in the brewery are characterized by their smooth taste and deep, rich flavor.
