- Delicious and light
- Sweet potato, exotic fruits
- The rice is produced locally and the sweet potatoes are grown in Kagoshima

The approach and approach of Tekkan Wakamatsu, the 4th generation at the helm of the distillery, is both original and shared by other distillers or brewers of his generation, young people who have known and frequented other horizons than those of their native province before choosing to relocate there, consciously and not by family tradition. Their deepest goal is to constantly improve themselves, to purify their actions and thus achieve their main objective: to be respectful and understanding of their environment.
Beni-Imo Shochu 2016 is made from local raw materials. The rice is produced locally and the sweet potatoes are grown in Kagoshima Prefecture. Koji is handcrafted in a stone warehouse that has been used for over 100 years, and jars used for fermentation are also over 100 years old. A slow distillation in an authentic still is carried out and then bottled after more than 5 years of tank ageing to give a 25 proof sweet potato shochu with an elegant sweet aroma and deliciousness. This 25% version of Beni-Imo is lighter and more commonly consumed in Japan.

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design. We are inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. The more brands we meet, the more passionate we become about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations yet somehow remaining contemporary.
Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
Our selection of Japanese food is also based on craftsmanship in agriculture. We choose brands based on how they are made and we love brands that continue to use traditional natural techniques to grow food and prepare it. Good packaging and design is always and added joy to find!
