Yamada Sake Brewery

Flagship Brand: Amami Nagakumo

The distillery is run by four family members, representing the second and third generations. Since 2009, they have been cultivating their own sugarcane in fields opened near the distillery. They use shochu lees as fertilizer for their fields, and the brown sugar made from the healthy sugarcane grown there captures the full flavor of the cane, offering a fragrant aroma and a smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture.
