Himeizumi Shuzo, founded in 1831 in Hinokage near Takachiho, is run by its seventh generation. It refuses filtration, keeping the spirit's native umami whole, and credits the resident yeasts of its 130-year-old buildings for a flavour nobody could copy. Barley, sweet potato, buckwheat and glutinous rice all pass through its stills, on spring water from across the river.
