This shojo manga by Mizuho Kusanagi is currently being serialized in “Hana to Yume” (Hakusensha) and has been receiving rave reviews. Since its serialization began in 2009, it has quickly gained popularity, with the comics selling over 15 million copies worldwide. It was adapted into a two-season TV anime series in 2014. Joraku Sake Brewery in Kumamoto Prefecture Joraku Shuzo was founded in 1912 (Taisho 1) and is a long-established authentic shochu brewery located in Kumamoto Prefecture. Since our founding, we have continued to produce shochu while cherishing the bounty of nature and our long history and traditions. Our meticulous attention to quality has earned us acclaim, winning awards at public tastings. We place particular emphasis on storage, an important step in the production of authentic shochu. Our brewery houses approximately 800 oak barrels, and we store and age our shochu for long periods of time in carefully selected barrels. In addition, our skilled blenders carefully select raw shochu from several barrels and blend it while carefully assessing the balance of flavor and aroma. The result is a deep, rich flavor and a harmonious aroma. While carrying on tradition, we continue to take on new challenges, spreading the appeal of Kuma Shochu from Kuma, Kumamoto, to a wider audience.
