The Fuchita Sake Brewery head office located in Kuma Village is the most downstream of the Kuma shochu, and is near Kyusendo, one of the largest limestone caves in Japan. It is an active brewery with a history of more than a century, and there is no signboard on the outside, so it is hard to tell that it is a shochu brewery unless you are conscious of visiting. However, once you step inside, you can feel the dignity and fearlessness that has been cultivated over time. In 1908, due to the construction of the Hisatsu Line, the store was moved from its original warehouse at the entrance to Ikkōchi to its current location. At that time, the jars that had been used since the company's founding were also carefully brought in. We carefully carry out the process from making koji to washing rice and brewing using traditional handmade methods, and we continue to stick to the Hitoyoshi/Kuma tradition of making shochu in jars. The workshop consists of a main building with a koji room and still, and a modern red brick storehouse. Inside, 20 jars are neatly lined up, and the primary and secondary brewing processes are carried out. In 1869, Kazaemon Fuchida obtained permission from the Meiji government to brew shochu and founded the company. It is affectionately known as ``Kazaemon Chaya,'' and old sake from history is still sleeping quietly in jars and barrels.
