DISTILLERIE SENGETSU

Since its foundation, its "Tôji" (master distillers) have worked exclusively for their distillery, which was rare at the time. Sengetsu Shuzo produces new generations of Tôji from their young distillers. Current 6th generation of Tôji continue to perpetuate original methods passed down to them. Importantly, the 3rd generation Tôji, Toyoka Sosogi, was awarded the title of "Contemporary Master Craftsman", the highest distinction for those working in the industry. It was the first time anyone in the shochu industry had received it. He developed techniques inherited from the distillery's founder, which today form Sengetsu Shuzo foundation.

As flagship brand, Sengetsu, is a shochu with a rich aroma and mellow taste that evokes thin crescent moon over Hitoyoshi Castle, and is particularly popular in the region. Rice used to make it comes exclusively from carefully cultivated local fields.
