Discover the charm of authentic shochu from Osumi, Kagoshima. Fairfield by Marriott Kagoshima Sakurajima

On Saturday, October 31, a shochu tasting event will be held for guests staying at the Fairfield by Marriott Kagoshima Sakurajima. In collaboration with “Taikai Shuhan” in Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture, this event will offer you the chance to experience the charm of the authentic shochu.

The Osumi Peninsula, including Kanoya City, is blessed with well-drained plateaus and a mild climate, and has long been known as a region producing high-quality sweet potatoes. By bringing out the unique characteristics of these sweet potatoes to the fullest and using natural alkaline hot spring water from the Osumi Peninsula, they craft a soft, smooth shochu that highlights the ingredients’ natural flavors.

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Masahiro Yamashita, Representative Director of Taikai Shuhan, who will share the passion behind shochu, the brewers’ dedication, and the unique characteristics of each label. We will also be serving traditional Kagoshima dishes to accompany the drinks, available for a separate charge.

Why not take this opportunity to experience the charm of Kagoshima’s food and shochu culture by tasting a variety of unique shochu?
