Minami Brewery
About History
Established in 1868, we are a distillery specializing in Shochu for 150 years. In addition to using the traditional three-step preparation for fermentation mash, our distillation equipment, which has been passed on for generations, includes a one-of-a-kind 12m tall vertical hand press. We use plenty of high-quality two-row barley ear, and ferment it at a low temperature with care and attention. Our Shochu has a mild taste with a fresh aftertaste and notes of a sweet vanilla aroma. Just one taste invites you to while away the precious moments and savor the next sip.
Location
Kunisaki City is located in the eastern part of the Kunisaki Peninsula in northeastern Oita Prefecture. The influence of the Rokugo Mansan culture with treasures and important cultural properties has left numerous temples, shrines, stone Buddhas, stone pagodas, and Buddhist sites, leading to the area being referred to as “Buddha's Village” in tourist guides and similar materials. This place is known as the gate of Japanese ancient history.
