YAMAKAWA SHUZO

Since its establishment, Yamakawa Shuzo’s Awamori distillery has been succeeded by four generations. The company is committed to ensuring that all of their aged Awamori is at least as old as the age indicated on the label. For example, in the case of blending 10-year-old and 8-year-old Awamori, the blend is aged for another two years before selling it as a 10-year-old “Kusu” (aged Awamori). This is known as “Kusu by Yamakawa.” The distillery is located on the bank of the Manna River in the rich natural environment of Yaedake in Motobu Town. They believe that "water is the lifeblood of Awamori" and use the abundant fresh water from the mountains to brew their spirits. It is their dream to make a 100-year-old Kusu!
