Kanosuke Japanese Whisky

Kanosuke is a modern Kagoshima whisky distillery shaped by three pot stills, long fermentation and the Komasa family's distilling heritage in Japan.

Kanosuke Japanese Whisky

Kanosuke brings a distinct Kagoshima identity to modern Japanese whisky. Founded in 2017 by fourth-generation Yoshitsugu Komasa of Komasa Jyozo, the distillery stands in Hioki near Fukiagehama on Kagoshima's west coast.

Three pot stills, broader spirit character

Kanosuke works with three pot stills of different shapes, giving the production team a wider set of spirit styles for maturation and blending. Long fermentation and varied cask management also shape the house approach, including re-charred shochu casks where confirmed for the individual release.
