Situated in the Oita Prefecture on Japan’s southernmost island of Kyushu, Iichiko produces sh≈çch≈´, a traditional Japanese spirit. The operation employs cutting-edge technology in making its award-winning spirits. But it’s also the environment that contributes to the quality of the product. The region is famous for its clean air, forests, and mountains, as well as springs. “Iichiko” means “it’s great” in the local Oita dialect. The distillery was formed in 1958 and produced sake, wine, and sh≈çch≈´. The very first Iichiko sh≈çch≈´ to be made from barley was released in 1979.
