All-Natural, Artisanal Japanese Spirits.
Shochu is our family passion.
Nankai has no additives, sugar, carbs, or gluten. Please Drink Honorably.
Nankai Imo Black is here! Our very first imo (swe Nankai Imo Black is here! Our very first imo (sweet potato) shochu. Here’s what makes Nankai Imo Black unique and delicious: - Made from local Kagoshima sweet potatoes, rice and Ibusuki underground spring water. - Fermented with black koji in priceless 150-year-old clay tsubo vessels. - Aroma: Fruity, floral with orange peel and roasted yams. - Palate: Smooth with chestnuts, lychee and spice. As always with our shochu: no sugar, carbs, gluten or additives. We started Nankai Shochu out of love for Amami Island and Kokuto Shochu, but we’ve become friends with other talented distillers, like @ooyamajin7_official . That’s why we started a new line called Nankai Selection, where Paul and Mai handpick their favorites outside of Amami Island and bring them to the U.S. We only sell what we drink, and at this point we need to start selling more than we drink. Know what we mean? #nankaishochu #nankaiimoblack #imoshochu #ibusuki #kagoshima #japanesedrink #shochu #shochulover #sweetpotato #craftspirits #distillation #koji #焼酎 #芋焼酎 #いぶすき #鹿児島
Depending where you are, it might be chilly, rainy Depending where you are, it might be chilly, rainy, snowy, or bone-brittling. What you just might need is some hot yuzu honey mixed with Nankai Shochu to comfort the shivers and shakes. Yuzu Oyuwari 3 oz Hot Water (160 F or so) 2 oz Nankai Shochu 1 tablespoon Yuzu Honey (found at Asian supermarkets) Dissolve the yuzu honey with the hot water in a ceramic cup. This should bring the temperature of the hot water down, which is good so you don’t burn away the shochu. Slowly add the shochu and stir. Repeat as necessary. #shochu #nankaishochu #kokutoshochu #yuzu #yuzuhoney #oyuwari #shochucocktail #cocktails #cocktailrecipes #hottoddy #hotdrinks #hotcocktails #焼酎 #黒糖焼酎 #カクテル #お湯割り #ゆず

We began from going on our honeymoon to Mai’s bi We began from going on our honeymoon to Mai’s birthplace — Amami Island, to completely falling in love with shochu, and finally deciding in October 2017 to make shochu our way of life. As we look to our 8th year as the owner-operators of Nankai Group, we see many tough challenges ahead, but we are blessed to have the inspiring support of our distillery, brewery, and distribution partners. @machida.shuzo @nikaido.shochu @ooyamajin7_official @moonbloomsake @tenshisake @sojasake @sgwinespirits @tian_beverage @mtcsake And of course, we would not be here without the restaurants, bars, retailers, and drink enthusiasts that have supported our lineup. We hope all of you will continue to join us on this journey of exploring the exciting possibilities of Japanese spirits and sake! Thank you and Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! #shochu #sake #japanesedrink #amami #oita #kagoshima #nagano #hyogo #okayama #smallbusiness #import #craftspirits #japanesesake
Happy Halloween! Enjoy your own personal spookfest Happy Halloween! Enjoy your own personal spookfest with Nankai Shochu by making this simple but creepy cocktail shot, created by @mle_fam at @shogun_sd. MEDAMA OYAJI (Old Man Eyeball) 1 oz Nankai Shochu 1 oz Soho Lychee Liqueur 1 Lychee 1 Luxardo or Maraschino Cherry Splash of Grenadine Combine Nankai Shochu and lychee liqueur in a cocktail shaker with ice. (Multiply the oz by the number of shots you want to make to batch it.) Shake well to chill and dilute. Pour into shot glass. Place the cherry inside the lychee and garnish the shot. Splash grenadine over the lychee to make it look like a bloody eyeball. Boo(m)! Medama Oyaji (目玉おやじ) is a main character from the anime “GeGeGe no Kitaro” (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎), one of our favorites growing up. #nankai #nankaishochu #shochu #kokutoshochu #shochucocktail #cocktailrecipes #shot #cocktailshot #halloween #halloweencocktails #spookycocktails #anime #gegegenokitaro #南海 #焼酎 #黒糖焼酎 #奄美大島 #カクテル #ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 #目玉おやじ
Renowned bartender and author @momose_julia graced Renowned bartender and author @momose_julia graced us with her talents, creating a cocktail that combined two of our kokuto shochu expressions.

FROM JULIA 1 oz Nankai Shochu 1 oz Nankai Gold 1 oz Dolin Blanc Vermouth 1 barspoon Dolin Genepy Combine and stir with a large cube of ice. Garnish with a shiso leaf. One of the great joys of starting Nankai is to see our products in the hands of a master. #nankai #nankaishochu #shochu #kokutoshochu #shochucocktail #cocktailrecipes #cocktailrecipe #cocktailporn #drinks #drinkstagram #cocktails #cocktailoftheday #bartender #焼酎 #黒糖焼酎 #カクテル #焼酎カクテル #奄美大島
