Kodama Jozo – Toji Junpei Shochu

An Elegant, Aromatic Shochu Made in Small Batches

Small-Scale Production to Maintain Quality

Toji Junpei is a distinctive sweet potato shochu produced by Kodama Jozo. Rather than pursuing mass production, the brewery follows the philosophy of making carefully crafted shochu in small batches, taking the time needed to maintain its quality.

The shochu is made with a special white koji developed by the master distiller, Junpei, drawing on the experience he gained while training at a sake brewery. Its main ingredient is Beniimoju, a red-fleshed sweet potato variety cultivated in the Otsuka district.

A Vintage-Style Shochu That Preserves Each Year’s Character

One of the distinctive features of Toji Junpei is that aged shochu and newly produced shochu are not blended together. Instead, the brewery bottles and ships only the amount produced in each year, preserving the character of that particular vintage.

This approach results in a shochu with a delicate, floral aroma, a soft and refined sweetness, and a pleasant lingering finish. Its elegant character has earned it a devoted following among shochu enthusiasts throughout Japan.
