 The Hachijojima Shuzo distillery was founded in the early 1920s. Still committed to making shochu by hand using time-honored methods that preclude large batches, each round of fermentation is carried out with great care.The production of imo-shochu was popular on Hachijojima Island in the past but has decreased in recent years as the demand for mugi-shochu has increased. Even so, Hachijojima Shuzo has continued to produce old-style imo-shochu, carefully maintaining its ties with its farming suppliers of sweet potato. This distillery also produces a shochu made by blending imo-shochu and mugi-shochu. |
