Located south of Japan, Amami Oshima is known for its beautiful beaches, lush forests, and unique culture. But beyond its natural beauty, the island is also famous for its traditional liquor – Kokuto Shochu. Made from the island’s native brown sugar, Kokuto Shochu is a distilled spirit with a distinct taste and aroma that sets it apart from other liquors. This May, Amami Oshima celebrates “Kokuto Shochu Day” to signify the importance of this unique spirit in the island’s culture. Read on to discover the significance of Kokuto Shochu on Amami Oshima and how you can enjoy this special drink on Kokuto Shochu Day.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What is Kokuto Shochu Day?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mirucollection.com\/miruamami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Miru-Blog-GIF-Banner-3.png” title_text=”Miru Blog GIF Banner (3)” _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Are you looking for a unique way to celebrate the upcoming weekend? May 9th and 10th marks the annual celebration of Kokuto Shochu Day, a special event established by the Amami Oshima Shochu Brewers Association in 2007. May 9 and 10 came to be known as Kokuto Shochu Day because, in Japanese, the numbers 5, 9 and 10 together make the sound “Kokuto”, meaning Amami Brown Sugar. This occasion honours the beloved Amami brown sugar and its role in creating the distinctive Kokuto Shochu.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n What Does Amanari Offer to Enjoy Kokuto Shochu Day?
