Press Release

Tokyo, JAPAN - From April 1, 2024, “Moriizo” is exclusively available for sale in First Class and

1. About Shochu “Moriizo”
“Moriizo” is a brand name of a Japanese distilled spirit called shochu. Shochu is mainly made
from rice or sweet potatoes, and it can be served straight on the rocks, with water, or with hot
water. Shochu goes well not only with Japanese food, but also with a variety of other cuisine.
“Moriizo” is made in Tarumizu City, Kagoshima Prefecture, using carefully selected and polished
sweet potatoes and naturally filtered underground water from the Shirasu Plateau in the
Takakuma Mountains. Brewed in the traditional kame-tsubo ceramic pottery whose techniques
and methods have been handed down since its establishment in 1885, this shochu has a mellow
and elegant yet slightly sweet taste, and is known as a rare and sought-after shochu whose
smooth taste and refined flavor continue to be loved worldwide.
