Takata distillery favors quality over quantity, producing shochu in the most natural way possible, looking both to the distillery's 100+ year history and to the 100 years to come. Using local rice grown in Hitoyoshi Kuma region by the distillery itself as its main ingredient, Takata is committed to making Kuma Shochu using local resources and age-old methods. In 2021, Takata Shuzo broke new ground with Kumamoto's first rum production.
This rum distilled from pure sugarcane juice grown in Kumamoto prefecture using natural, pesticide-free agricultural methods. It was fermented and distilled between December 2020 and January 2021, then blended in a limited edition bottle. Only 216 bottles were produced. This artisanal rum has been featured in "The World's Best Kyushu Begins" and "Solakara".
Rum distilled from pure sugarcane juice accounts for less than 10% of world production. Kumamoto has a long history of sugarcane cultivation. It takes one liter of cane juice to make 100 ml of this precious rum. This rum, with its floral, vegetal and fruity (mango, ripe banana) aromas and subtle honey and vanilla notes, is characterized by the rich flavor of sugarcane harvested at full maturity, with spicy, herbaceous notes and hints of licorice. A great vintage.

TAKATA SHUZOMadame TAKATA:
"We've been making shochu for over 100 years and have never stopped challenging ourselves, while preserving traditions and meticulous techniques of Kuma Shochu's distillation methods.
Making it as natural as possible. This is the basis of our shochu production. For rice we use as raw material, we mainly use hinohikari produced in our local Hitoyoshi Kuma district, but we also use low-pesticide rice from plantations using ducks and Yamada-Nishiki rice that we grow ourselves.
In addition to high-quality groundwater, we also use crystal-clear water that gushes from rocks almost 1,000 metres above sea level.
All our shochu are made by hand, in traditional koji rooms, stone warehouses and clay vats that have been used for storage since company was founded. We are able to maintain limited production in which we specialize.
Clay vats are made from the region's stable soil and surrounding nature, as well as wind that blows from the mountains into the warehouse. This has enabled us to cultivate a distinctive shochu that can only be produced here.
In addition, we have preserved traditions and taken on new challenges, such as use of floral yeasts, and have been able to produce a distinctive shochu".
