Product details
Kumesen Syuzo was a distillery founded in Okinawa back in 1952. It is known locally there for distilling Awamori, a rice-based spirit made from long grain Indica rice and fermented with native Black Koji (a type of mold used in breaking down starches in rice for spirits production). It is not usually aged for super long periods of time, it is said, but in 1989 Kumesen apparently began longer term aging in oak barrels to create their own more unique products.
