DENEN SHUZO
Distillery: Den-en Shuzo Co., Ltd.
Founded: 1979
Established in northern Kagoshima in 1905, Denen Shuzo pioneered the idea of barrel stored Shochu. They continue to do so while also implementing the "ongaku jikomi" technique, which is playing music while they make their Shochu, which is believed to enhance fermentation and barrel aging.
