Profile: Nankai Shochu was founded in 2015 by Paul and Mai Nakayama, who were inspired by their love for Japanese culture and cuisine. Their goal was to introduce premium shochu to a wider audience while staying true to its traditional roots. They partnered with a distillery in Kagoshima, Japan, to create a unique blend of sweet potatoes and barley exclusive to Nankai Shochu. The result is a smooth, balanced shochu that's both versatile and sustainable. Paul and Mai's commitment to quality and environmentally friendly production methods sets Nankai Shochu apart.
