    Kagoshima Kumage-gun Yakushimacho Koseda 12-5
    This shop is located in the Koseda district near Yakushima Airport. The shop, which outwardly resembles a convenience store, sells bento boxes, daily necessities, alcoholic beverages, and other items. It is famous for being the official retailer of Aiko, a Yakushima honkaku shochu that during its heyday required getting onto a 10-month waiting list to buy a bottle. This distilled spirit with a noticeably sweet and savory flavor was named after Mt. Aiko, the mountain that towers behind the shop. Supplies of the 200 milliliter single serving bottles are limited to just two per customer. The shop carries a full lineup of shochu including the premium Satsuma sweet potato shochu Mitake.
  • Tanegashima Shuzo

    Kagoshima Nishinoomote Nishinoomote 13589-3
    "A venerable distillery founded in 1903. It is located almost in the center of Tanegashima Island along Prefectural Route 76. It employs the ""Kametsubo Jikomi"" (earthenware vat) method of making shochu (sweet potato liquor) and has used the same old-style earthenware vats for many years. In addition, the shochu is made from sweet potatoes grown organically on the company's own 45-hectare farm. The water used in the manufacturing process comes from deep groundwater in the paleogenic geological layer 306 meters beneath the distillery, the so-called Takenota Spring. The great care that the distillery takes with the ingredients and the manufacturing process is one of the things that attracts customers. The finished shochu is known for its deep and mellow flavor. Visitors who make reservations ahead of time can tour the distillery, and the associated shop offers tasting sessions."

    屋久島まできて、ほっともっとはどうかと思うけど、安定、安心の味ですね。のり弁を買って、山へ散策に行きました。美味しかったです。

Kagoshima Areas

around-area-map

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.
