    Kagoshima Ibusuki-shi Nishikata 4657
    "This distillery established in 1875 makes and sells sweet potato honkaku shochu. It continues to craft sweet potato shochu brewed with groundwater of superior quality. Their Jinshichi shochu is made with nothing more than mineral-rich natural groundwater, kurokoji (black koji mold), and freshly-harvested sweet potatoes. It is noted for a savory flavor evocative of roasted sweet potatoes. It has a refreshing sharpness and an enjoyable light sweetness and minute savoriness characteristic of kurokoji. In addition to respecting traditions, the distillery also explores innovative approaches to shochu making. One example of this is their development of ""space shochu"" made with Atsuhime yeast that was flown on NASA's Space Shuttle and cultivated in zero gravity."

Kagoshima Areas

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
