History,
Established over 110 years ago, Sengetsu Shuzo produces mainly traditional Rice Shochu. Their name is borrowed from the famous and beloved Hitoyoshi Castle of Kumamoto Prefecture, which also carries a second name "Sengetsu Castle" or Crescent Moon Castle. The current Toji is the 6th distillery head, and he carries with him all the techniques and secrets of his predecessors.
Tasting Notes, Sengetsu Shuzo's premium Rice Shochu sleeps in barrels of Kokuji (Evergreen Oak) for over ten years, lending it a peculiar and addictive flavor, a mellow aroma, and an impossibly round character. Pours a light, lovely amber color.
