About
Hot-spring town distillery in Kitagou-cho, Nichinan, Miyazaki, established 1994 as expansion of the original 1894 Inoue family shochu operation. Situated next to the Hiroto River, surrounded by mountains. Master distiller Mera Inoue (3rd generation) produces Kyushu Cowboy Inoue Koji Whisky — winner of 2020 SIP Award. Uniquely uses koji in the traditional fermentation process instead of standard malting, imparting rich aromas and characteristic flavors. Part of the Kyushu shochu-to-whisky pipeline that is reshaping Japanese whisky's identity beyond Scotch imitation.
