Goro

Situated at the southern end of the Koshiki Island chain, Yoshinaga Distillery was founded by Goro Yoshinaga in 1902 and today is operated by the current master brewer-distiller, Keisuke Kawabata. One of just two distilleries on the islands, all of Yoshinaga’s shochu is made with their famed spring water, known as firefly water, because it’s so pure that fireflies thrive in the areas where it bubbles to the surface.
