Its versatility allows it to be enjoyed alongside meals, yet its recognition outside Japan remains limited. With the increasing global appetite for Japanese beverages, including sake and whiskey, and the recent UNESCO recognition of traditional sake-making techniques, Kirishima Shuzo aims to elevate the profile of shochu through this event.
