Arimura Sake Brewery

Kuramoto in Yōtashima, the southernmost place in Kagoshima Prefecture floating on the 27th parallel north latitude, is Arimura Sake Brewery. Yōtōjima is a warm year-round southern islet made up of coral reef bumps, and the wares of the islands' pro-fathers are the most common of the drinking ritual "yoken devotion" to entertain guests. With a sweet scent of brown sugar and a refreshing drink, this shochu is a gift of the southern island. Slowly, I want to taste it in island time. 20 degrees (720 milliliters) 1320 yen. 35 degrees (720 milliliters) 1980 yen.
