A Commitment to Tradition
Our Signature Collection
Our whisky is produced only from the rice grown from the fertile soil and the underground water of the Kuma River surrounding the distillery creating a full-bodied, mellow, and flavorful authentic drinking experience using techniques passed down for multiple generations. We encourage you to discover and enjoy the deep flavor of amber aging through the magic of craft and koji.
Six Generations Of Unique Distilling
6th generation Master Distiller, Kazunori Oishi, utilizes local estate-grown rice from the surrounding Kumamoto prefecture. Oishi Shuzo was founded in 1872 in a beautifully mountainous and scenic countryside. Ohishi sits near the tiny village of Mizukami and is the closest distillery to the source of the Kuma River, one of the fastest flowing rivers in all of Japan, renowned and prized for its superior water quality.
