Kokuto Shochu Boutique

At PORTSIDE, we offer a dedicated selection of the best and rarest kokuto shochu from Amami Oshima. 

Kokuto shochu, or what we like to call Amami Liquor, is a rare spirit exclusively distilled on the Amami Islands.  Similar to other regional specilties like Scotch or mezcal, this unique drop is crafted nowhere else in the world but a handful of tropical islands on Amami. Made from a traditional dark sugar (kokuto) and rice koji,  it is brimming with depth and flavor.  It is truly a hidden gem. 

Discover the finest Amami Liquor at PORTSIDE's kokuto shochu boutique in Naze.
