Kanosuke Distillery

Komasa Shuzo in Kagoshima Prefecture is a sake brewery made mainly of kozuru, an authentic shochu founded in 1883. In 2017, we acquired a whisky production license and started operation of Komasa Shuzo Kanosuke Distillery as a challenge to a new stage by making full use of the authentic shochu production technology we have cultivated so far.

In 2018, new pots were released in limited quantities. In addition, “Kanosuke New Bone 2018”, which was stored for 8 months, was released. In 2019, “Kanosuke Newborn 2019”, which was stored for 16 months, was released. In 2020, “Kanosuke New Bone 2020 Peated” was released using British peat malt and stored for 24 months.

In addition, we are actively selling craft gin before selling whisky. Currently, two types are on sale: “KOMASA GIN Sakurajima Mikan” and “KOMASA GIN Hojicha”.
