    Ochiai Sake Brewery

    Ochiai Distillery is a family-run shochu distillery with more than 100 years of history. Shochu is most commonly distilled from sweet potatoes, barley or rice. At Ochiai Distillery, we specialize in ‘Imo’ sweet potato shochu. Our sweet potatoes are sourced from one designated farm that only uses plant-based fertilizers. The sweet potatoes are grown via this method, or called green manure crop farming, have low moisture content. Shochu made from these firm, dense sweet potatoes are smooth to the palate and have a deep taste. Honkaku Shochu or single distillation shochu is Japan’s traditional distilled alcoholic beverage. At Ochiai Distillery, we hold the following two phrases close to our hearts: Ichigo Ichie and Zanshin. “Ichigo Ichie” literally means “one chance, one encounter”, “Zanshin” literally means “remaining at heart.”
