Thirteen years in oak give ROKUCHOSHI Red a warm, composed register. The long maturation is part of the product’s identity, but it remains anchored in the rice spirit and atmospheric distillation of Kuma.
Time gives the colour its purpose
ROKUCHOSHI Red uses rice spirit matured in oak casks for thirteen years. That time gives the expression its warm colour and an unhurried, settled character, while the base remains a white-koji, atmospheric-distilled Kuma shochu.
A product-specific record
ROKUCHOSHI Red received Kura Master Gold in 2021.

Kuma, Kumamoto — Rokuchoshi Distillery
