Yoichiro Haseba is the master distiller and blende Yoichiro Haseba is the master distiller and blender behind our award-winning Nankai Shochu and Nankai Gold. Mr.Haseba produces Nankai with traditional and modern techniques. Fermentation of the mash is via a magical Japanese spore, koji. It’s what makes shochu, sake, soy sauce, and miso possible. Nankai Shochu is single-distilled and vacuum-distilled, a modern technique that makes it possible to create alcohol at lower temperatures. The result is a smoother, gentler, yet flavorful distillate. If you’d like to read more about Mr. Haseba’s journey and approach with distilling, check out the link in our bio. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #distill #distillers #masterblender #masterdistiller #distillation #distillery #craftdistilling #distilling #craftdistillery #spirits #handcrafted #distillerylife #craftdistiller #craftspirits #smallbatch #distilleryexperience #distillinglife #nankaigold #奄美大島 #vacuumdistilled #drinkstagram #alcohol #dram #焼酎 #shochu #shochugram #nankaishochu #黒糖焼酎

It’s cherry blossom season in Asia right now. It It’s cherry blossom season in Asia right now. It’s a very short window, which we’ve missed two years in a row.
