耶馬美人
Since 1935 — 中津市, Oita
Asahi Shuzo of Nakatsu, founded in 1935, is a rarity in Oita: a junmai (pure rice) shochu house. Its Yaba Bijin — named for the legend that the Yabakei gorge raises beauties — won the top honour at the 6th National Tax Agency appraisal in 1982, built on cool fermentation, gentle distillation and long rest.
