About KanosukeJapan
Kanosuke Distillery stands by Fukiagehama Beach in Hioki City, Kagoshima, Japan. It was established in November 2017 as the whisky making site of Komasa Jyozo, a shochu maker, and in August 2021 it became Komasa Kanosuke Distillery Co., LTD, led by president and CEO Yoshitsugu Komasa. In September 2021 Diageo took a minority stake through Distill Ventures, with Komasa Jyozo keeping majority ownership. The distillery is named for the family that made Mellowed Kozuru, which it calls Japan's first long term cask aged rice shochu, and its whisky is known for three pot stills, long fermentation and maturation in re-charred shochu casks. Its yearly Limited Edition is a limited version of its flagship Single Malt, such as the 2026 edition at 57%.
