Reviews of Hawaiian SHOCHU Company
"A hidden gem on the North Shore. Shochu may not be for everyone, but those who know buy up many bottles. Unique among Hawaii distilleries, and using local ingredients. It was also a pleasure coordinating a purchase (you should look at the schedule and email first) and visiting Ken's one-man shop. Arigatou gozaimasu!"
"If you can get a tour do it. Just go on their website and email him. Ken, the owner, is amazing. It’s just him and his wife and they use a traditional method to distill. He thoroughly explains the process and then provides a tasting of one item. Bottles are more expensive than what you can get at the local stores, but it’s the small batch hand crafted quality you’re paying for. There are no timers, computers, etc here. Everything is done the traditional way with high quality ingredients. Please understand he’s a one man operation and has limited availability for tours. Book way in advance. Or visit between operating hours, currently 1-3 pm, to purchase. Buy local, support local."
"Couldn’t resist trying out the local shochu brewery in the north shore. They offer the tour to their production factory however due to the COVID 19, they were unable to offer when we went to pick up bottles we ordered. Each year they grow and cultivate different type of sweet potatoes to make the vintage. You need to reserve in advance as the production is limited per year. This year, many visitors were unable to come collect the reserved bottles. Maybe you can give them a call if you are interested in trying out Japanese shochu"
"My wife and I visited Hirata-san and his wife on 01-08-19. Amazing experience. His knowledge of Shochu and spirits in general was great. Such a friendly couple and proud as he should be of his product which is amazing. If we are ever fortunate enough to visit Hawaii again we will definitely be back. I suggest anyone with an interest in Shochu to come here and experience this amazing place."
"Ken and his wife Yumiko are two of the nicest people you will meet. We scheduled a tour of their distillery and their knowledge, kindness and patience not only made the tour educational but very enjoyable. Highly recommended when on the North Shore!"
