Sapporo Shusei Kogyo, located in Atsubetsu Town, Hokkaido, is a distillery that produces shochu.
 Here, a diverse range of shochu is crafted using local ingredients, gaining attention for its quality and uniqueness.
 There are no specific business hours, so it's advisable to confirm in advance before visiting.
The factory offers a variety of shochu, including barley shochu, kombu shochu, sweet potato shochu, and potato shochu.
 Notably, the potato shochu is quite rare, utilizing locally produced "meikuin" potatoes, resulting in a flavor that is distinctly one-of-a-kind.
 It is slightly sweet and easy to drink, making it popular among many.
 Additionally, the sweet potato shochu "Kitarin," made with the local crop "Kogane Sengan," is also a favorite, known for its gentle aroma and refreshing taste, making it a great recommendation for those new to alcoholic beverages.
The chefs are committed to ingredient selection, using only high-quality materials sourced from contracted local farmers, such as two-row barley and locally famous kombu seaweed.
 This dedication to quality gives rise to each shochu's distinct personality, making it well worth a taste.
Furthermore, the factory is also engaged in new challenges that leverage the unique materials available in Hokkaido.
 The range of products made from Hokkaido-sourced ingredients, not commonly found in other prefectures, is gradually spreading as a new part of the drinking culture.
 Thus, it appeals not only to sake enthusiasts but also to those seeking new taste experiences.
Visiting Sapporo Shusei Kogyo will be more than just enjoying a drink.
 By exploring the locally-rooted product creation and the stories behind them, you will gain a new perspective on the drinking culture across Japan.
