Japan's Hidden Craft Spirit

Discover a New World Beyond Rum and Whisky

From the subtropical Amami Islands of southern Japan comes Kokuto Shochu, a rare craft spirit made from brown sugar and rice koji.

Produced exclusively in the Amami Islands, Kokuto Shochu combines centuries of Japanese distilling tradition with a flavour profile unlike any other spirit category.

Naturally smooth, subtly sweet, and exceptionally versatile, it offers a refreshing alternative for rum lovers, whisky explorers, and craft cocktail enthusiasts.

What is Kokuto Shochu?

Kokuto Shochu is a traditional Japanese distilled spirit crafted from locally produced brown sugar and fermented with rice koji.

Unlike rum, which focuses on sugarcane intensity, Kokuto Shochu delivers a cleaner and more refined character with delicate sweetness and remarkable balance.

This unique production method can only be found in Japan's Amami Islands.

The Amami Islands are known for crystal-clear waters, lush forests, and extraordinary biodiversity.
