[About Miyazaki Shochu]
Shochu is classified into two types: "class A shochu," which is distilled repeatedly in a continuous still to increase its purity, and "class B shochu," which is slowly distilled in a pot still to retain the umami and flavor of the ingredients.
It was simply a classification of shochu, but as the saying goes, "it's hard to tell which is better," in order to dispel the image that Class B was inferior, Junkichi Enatsu, the second-generation president of Kirishima Shuzo, branded Class B Kirishima Shochu as "honkaku shochu."
It is no exaggeration to say that the history of authentic shochu began in Miyazaki Prefecture.
