komasa gin
Komasa Jyozo was founded in 1883. Everything started with the production of spirits to use at local shrines, which then developed into the production of alcohol for local consumption. Our ever-popular Kozuru brand of shochu’s are what we’re known for, and it was also our first foray into storing and aging shochu. Our aged Mellowed Kozuru has received award after award in both domestic and worldwide competitions and was instrumental in pushing shochu into a new era. Our Komasa Gin line of craft gins is the next step in Komasa Jyozo’s history of continued innovation and excellence.

Komasa Gin is the craft gin label proudly presented by Komasa Jyozo, a shochu distillery in Kagoshima, Japan with over 130 years of distilling history. Gin and shochu both share the fact that they are distilled spirits. Drawing on decades of distilling expertise and know how accumulated through making shochu, we unveiled our new line of gins in 2018.
Gin is a distilled spirit that has been flavored with juniper berries and other botanicals, like spices and citrus peel. We use our rice shochu as the base for Komasa Gin, to which we add juniper berries and as few other ingredients as possible in order to let the main botanicals shine on their own. Our goal is to utilize and express the natural fragrances and flavors of our quality ingredients to the fullest. With Komasa Gin, we’ve hit upon a revolutionary style of gin that is eminently easy to drink and perfect for everyone.
