Hamada

Hamada Shuzo is a pioneering shochu distillery based in Ichikikushikino, Kagoshima, with a history stretching back to 1868. Known for pushing the boundaries of traditional shochu-making, Hamada uses techniques like low-temperature vacuum distillation and its signature koujuku ageing method to craft spirits with striking aroma and character — from the internationally acclaimed, fruit-forward Daiyame to the umami-rich Kaido and the bright, refreshing Shochu-Densetsu. Whether you're new to shochu or a seasoned enthusiast, Hamada's range offers something distinctly modern within Japan's oldest spirit tradition. Explore our full range of Hamada shochu below.
