“Kanosuke HIOKI POT STILL [Hioki Distillery]“
The Hioki distillery is the original shochu distillery that produced Komasa Shuzo’s signature product, the Kozuru series, and Komasa Gin was also made at the Hioki distillery.2 Following the Kanosuke distillery, the Hioki distillery will obtain a whisky production license in 2020 and begin producing grain whisky, and this will be its first release. This is the first release.
