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 iwainoaka, 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.
Thinking about the young people who set sail from here
Denzoingura Distillery is located in Ichikikushikino City where 19 young samurai warriors known as Satsuma Students left for the UK. They would likely have viewed the sun setting into the East China Sea from Hashimaura, Ichikikukshikino City. Our red bottle represents this setting sun.
The taste of various dishes will be greatly enhanced when enjoyed with Shochu
Kaido iwainoaka features a refreshing yet crispy, and rich and mellow taste. It goes well not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Italian and Chinese cuisine. You can enjoy it while having a meal.
Enjoy Sweet Potato Soda
Kaido iwainoaka is exceptional on the rocks, mixed with cool or hot water, as well as straight. ‘Sweet potato highball’, Shochu mixed with soda, is also recommended.
