We use quality sweet potatoes grown in Satsuma (Kagoshima) as an ingredient

Kagoshima-grown sweet potatoes are the most popular variety being used as an ingredient of Shochu. This is due to its large yield, richness in starch, its flavor, and the authentic taste of sweet potato. As for the raw material of Kaido, the high quality sweet potatoes grown in Satsuma (present day Kagoshima) soil are used. Only the freshest sweet potatoes, chosen through hand sorting, are used.
