Matsu no Tsuyu Sake Brewery – Matsu no Tsuyu Shochu

A Fine Sweet Potato Shochu Created Through Tradition and Craftsmanship

A Historic Shochu Produced Since the Late Edo Period

Matsu no Tsuyu is an authentic sweet potato shochu that has been produced continuously since the brewery was founded in the late Edo period (1603–1868).

The name, which can be translated as “Pine Dew,” is said to have been inspired by the beauty of morning dew dripping from pine needles. It is made primarily from carefully selected sweet potatoes, combining brewing techniques passed down through generations with modern technology.

Traditional Craftsmanship Meets Modern Quality Control

In the past, koji-making relied largely on the brewer’s senses and hands-on experience. Today, the process is supported by detailed data and precise calculations. Temperature and moisture levels are carefully adjusted to create koji of consistent, high quality.

By combining the experience and techniques inherited from earlier generations with modern methods of quality control, the brewery is able to maintain a stable standard while preserving the character of traditional shochu-making.

A Shochu That Reflects Generations of Brewing Expertise

Matsu no Tsuyu represents the meeting of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary brewing technology. Its continued production since the late Edo period reflects the brewery’s commitment to preserving its heritage while making use of advances in modern brewing techniques.
