ABOUT KANOSUKE
A craft Japanese whisky distillery located in Hioki, Kagoshima, offering view of the sunset over the sea. Utilizing three pot stills and re-charred casks, the distillery creates a rich, elegant flavour through its unique techniques. By blending distillation techniques and aging techniques with the sea breeze from Fukiagehama and the abundant nature of the southern islands, Kanosuke Distillery cultivates its signature mellow taste.
KANOSUKE DISTILLERY overlooks Japan’s longest sand beach, a beautiful, white strip that stretches as far as the eye can see. This is Fukiagehama, one of the country’s three largest sand dunes, which extends about 50 kilometres north to south through three municipalities: Ichikikushikino, Hioki, and Minamisatsuma.
The East China Sea is calm in the summer, but the fierce winter winds whip up the sea waters occasionally, making for a unique climate within the warm Kagoshima Prefecture. The region is blessed with an abundance of crystal-clear groundwater, filtered and purified as it runs down the Shirasu Plateau.
The shochu distillery "Hioki Distillery," the parent company of "Kanosuke Distillery," has long-standing ties to Hiyoshi Town in Hioki City, an area known for Fukiagehama and green mountains. The Komasa family, the founding family, originally produced sacred sake for Hachiman Shrine in Hiyoshi, Kagoshima. While deeply rooted in the local culture and history, the family has continuously adapted to the changing times, always pursuing innovation.
