Kubo Shuzo is a small sake brewery located in Nagasu, Usa City, Oita Prefecture, approximately 1,054 meters from Bungo-Nagase Station.
 It is surrounded by the well-known Yotsuya Sake Brewery and primarily offers shochu.
 While it used to produce sake, it has now specialized in shochu production.
 Operating hours are not specified, so it is recommended to confirm in advance when planning a visit.
One of the highlights of Kubo Shuzo is its barley shochu.
 They use local Usa-grown naked barley and the spring water from the Ekkan River for brewing, reflecting a commitment to the local area.
 Additionally, Kubo Shuzo received gold and bronze awards at the 2020 TOKYO WHISKY & SPIRITS COMPETITION, attesting to the quality of their products.
The barley shochu "Kubo" available at the brewery offers a rich aroma and sweetness, providing a satisfying experience.
 The label details the ingredients and production methods, which instills a sense of security in customers.
 This shochu has a soft mouthfeel while still displaying a robust alcohol character, earning high praise.
 Compared to products from other companies, its uniqueness stands out; for instance, it is more potent in sweetness and alcohol content compared to "Kanpachi," while also retaining a freshness.
Additionally, Kubo Shuzo is venturing into sweet potato shochu, set to be created using Oita-grown "Beniharuka" sweet potatoes and barley koji called "Toyonohoshi.
" This new endeavor promises to broaden the diversity and enjoyment of their offerings.
The craftsmen put a lot of care into selecting materials and the brewing process, transforming high-quality ingredients into exquisite products.
 Though small in scale, they also offer tasting experiences and emphasize communication with customers, making it worthwhile to visit and directly experience their charms.
At Kubo Shuzo, there is anticipation not only for its rare barley shochu but also for the new sweet potato shochu.
 We encourage you to visit and savor their proud beverages.
