This Tour is operated in conjunction with our partner in Japan TABITTO Travel Kagoshima over ZOOM.

Kagoshima is located in the most southern part of Japan mainland and is well known as the heartland of Japanese Shochu, a traditional local spirit. It may come as a surprise that Japanese Shochu consumption within Japan far exceeds that of Sake. There are 114 Shochu distilleries and more than 2000 brands of Shochu in Kagoshima. Meijigura, located at the southern tip of Kagoshima is a very historical distillery operated by one of the largest producers of Shochu Satsuma Shuzo.

This is a virtual tour of the distillery, where you can experience a walk around inside the Shochu distillery along with your guide, Miki, a state-licensed guide and a certified Shochu navigator. She along with a craftsman of the distillery will show you around and explain the traditional production methods and the culture of Shochu. Yoshie Kakimoto, the moderator of the tour is a Shochu Meister and will moderate and support through the tour.

At the end of the tour, the craftsman shows you a unique liquor set for Shochu and tells you how to use it. In addition, you will learn how to enjoy Shochu in various kinds of ways at home. In case you have your own Shochu bottle, some soda/sparkling water and ice, you may enjoy your Shochu while experiencing this distillery tour.

NOTE: In the event of any technical/connectivity problems at the organizers' end, which does not allow the event to be held, it may be rescheduled to a later date. We shall not be able to reschedule in case the connectivity/technical problems occur at your end.

Valdespino Fino Inocente Single Vineyard Sherry is a traditional, dry Fino sherry made exclusively from Palomino grapes grown in the high-altitude Macharnudo Alto vineyard in Jerez, Spain. It is unique as it is the only Fino fermented in 600-liter American oak barrels using indigenous yeasts, a rare practice that adds complexity and richness to the wine. The solera system used for aging involves ten criaderas (stages), with the average age of the wine being around ten years under a protective veil of flor yeast.

The wine is pale golden in color with a complex aroma profile featuring notes of almonds, yeasty brioche, dried hay, salted olives, chalk, and hints of vanilla. The palate is elegant, full-bodied yet delicate, with mineral, zesty citrus, apple, grapefruit, and herbal flavors balanced by a fine chalky texture and a salty, slightly bitter finish. This Fino combines freshness and richness well, presenting a refined and long-lasting finish.

It is best served chilled (8-9°C) and pairs excellently with salted almonds, white fish, light meats, and tapas. This sherry has received high praise and awards, recognized for its balance, complexity, and traditional production methods that preserve the authentic character of Fino sherry.
