I decided 5 years ago. I looked around where I am and I found great domestic material to work with (sugar cane, yeast, and water), then I sourced the best equipment and poured my spirit into the process. Rum is not limited by location, wherever it is made, I think I can produce.
Making good friends in all over the world, and seeing their smile, they make me understand true gratitude.
I swore to walk the line and go to the limit when I started.
This is a difficult question, because, it is very difficult to choose some people as a mentor.
So many people always give me good words.
Mr.Akuto who is master of “Ichiro’s malt whisky” told me the base of a distillery.
Ms.Kristina who has experience of the judge of Rum Festival told me the effect of a few drops of water.
Mr.Uchikawa who was one of the directors of Toyota Motor Corporation has impressed upon me the attitude for driving production.
They are so many things. But, I cannot say them, please follow us to see what will be happening.
I would love to stock several hundred barrels to last me until death.
