"Amami Oshima Shuzo Hamachidorikan | A special time to experience the profound depth of brown sugar shochu"

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Amami, Hamachidorikan is an observation facility where you can enjoy the charms of brown sugar shochu with all five senses. You can see up close how mellow shochu is made from local water and brown sugar. A guided factory tour is a special experience where you can observe the fermentation process and be enveloped in the sweet aroma of brown sugar. After the tour, you can sample a wide variety of brown sugar shochu and find your favorite one. The souvenir shop also has limited edition shochu that you can only get here! I was also impressed by the number of tasting corners. It's a place that can be enjoyed by shochu lovers and beginners alike, so if you visit Amami, be sure to stop by.
