Agataya Brewery

Established 1712

It is an authentic Shochu made using the famous water of the Yufu mountain range and the brewing techniques backed by the company's 1712 history. From this hometown rich in nature, we have been striving to produce Shochu liqueur that cannot be imitated by national brands, and that has the quality of being handmade and the commitment of the brewer. The oldest brewery in Oita has plaster paintings of it's building facade that is registered as the Important Cultural Property which evokes the spirit of Kamakura samurai in the middle age.
