ABOUT THE DISTILLERY
The Ontake Distillery was launched by Nishi Shuzo, a company whose history goes way back to 1845. These days, Nishi Shuzo is best known for its line of sweet potato shochu under the brand name Houzan. The company is also behind Tenshino Yuuwaku, one of TWSC 2020’s Superior Gold winners in the shochu division.
The name “Ontake” collectively refers to the three tallest peaks of Sakurajima: Kitadake, Nakadake, and Minamidake.
