{"title":"Fukano Shuzo","description":"\u003cp\u003e Fukano Shuzo, founded in 1823 in the Kuma region (Kumamoto), follows a simple philosophy: prioritising quality over quantity. Internationally renowned, the distillery was notably awarded at Kura Master 2021 with a platinum medal for its Homare no Tsuyu and a gold medal for its Saiba.\u003cbr\u003eThe distillery perpetuates an entirely artisanal know-how: hand-produced koji, fermentation in large earthenware jars (kame), atmospheric pressure distillation and traditional ageing, sometimes over several years. Among its iconic creations is also the Koku no Fuin, a high-quality aged kuma shōchū.\u003cbr\u003eSet in an exceptional natural environment, Fukano relies on historic facilities where some clay vats have been in use for over 150 years. The master distillers (tōji) work there with remarkable precision, guided by their experience and attention to every detail of the production process.\u003cbr\u003eTrue to its heritage, Fukano combines tradition, artisanal excellence and hospitality. Open to visitors, the distillery offers the chance to discover its production methods and taste its exceptional cuvées, including some shōchū aged for over ten years in earthenware jars.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"shochu-de-riz-toki-no-fuin-kohaku-10-ans-d-age-30-700ml","title":"Rice Shochu TOKI NO FUIN KOHAKU, 10 years old, 30%, 700ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;This vintage shochu, distilled in a particular atmosphere reminiscent of whisky, reflects the brewery's passion and the unwavering dedication of its craftsmen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aromatic notes evoke nuts and caramel.\u003cbr\u003eIt stands out for its traditional flavour — gentle on the palate at first, then robust.
