Kanosuke Distillery is a craft distillery that began producing whiskey in 2018 through Kosho Jozo, an authentic shochu distillery founded in 1883.

The fine craftsmanship cultivated over many years in shochu production came into full play in the challenge to create this whiskey. In addition to tours introducing the production process, there is a store selling original goods and a bar overlooking the beautiful ocean.
