About Watanabe Distillery Co., Ltd.
When Koichiro Watanabe took over as the 4th generation of his family to operate Watanabe Shuzo, the young distiller turned to his grandfather for advice. “Don’t worry too much about the dirt” was the answer, regarding the daily cleaning of freshly harvested sweet potatoes where they painstakingly scrubbed and peeled each tuber until it was pristine. “In my day we always left a little in there.” By preserving that little bit of tradition, the literal flavor of the soil is preserved in the distilled shochu, giving it remarkable depth and richness.
