Takara Yokaichi Mugi (Barley)

Takara Shuzo polished the Barley down to 60% of the original size and used their own Tanrei Shiro Koji, fermenting in a low temperature (a technique known as Ginrei Jikomi). This creates refreshing yet aromatic Shochu.

Takara Shuzo has greatly contributed to the development of the Shochu industry by creating and nurturing the Shochu market, answering to changing trends of the consumer market. Their ability to do this comes from their possession of original distillation technology, skills, and storage technology. They wish to continue to develop new original Honkaku Shochu products in the future as well.
