Sengetsu Shuzo is one of the limited distilleries making Kuma Shochu. Strict criteria must be fulfilled to be certified “Kuma Shochu“. The raw material must be only rice, and underground water from Kuma region must be used. Distillation and bottling should also take place in this region. Hence, the rice shochu with this certificate is not only a gurantee of quantity, but also represents the regional characteristics.
