Seven years in sherry casks give this rice-spirit expression a measured, cask-led depth. The time is not used to disguise its origin: it allows a clear rice base and the character of the barrel to meet at a slower pace.
A longer measure of time
OKUKUMA rests for seven years in sherry casks. Its deep colour and dietary fibre place it in the liqueur category, while the rice-spirit base remains central to its cask-matured profile.
A dialogue rather than a cover
The sherry cask gives the spirit a darker, more settled contour. It does not turn the product into a substitute for another category; the point is the meeting of a Kuma rice-spirit foundation and the long, quiet influence of the cask.
Yunomae, Kumamoto — Toyonaga Distillery
Toyonaga Distillery was founded in 1894 in Yunomae, Kumamoto, close to the headwaters of the Kuma River. Its work begins from the relationship between local materials and the long-established culture of Kuma distilling.
