Gold Beniotome

Beniotome Gold is a premium Japanese shochu crafted from a blend of barley, malted rice, and sesame seeds. It is the flagship product of Beniotome.

Shuzo, a distinguished brewey located in Fukuoka, Japan. Known for its mellow flavor and discinct nutty sesame aroma, Beniotome Gold stands out for its unique combination of ingredients and aging methods. 

The distillery employs two key maturation techniques to develop its shochu: barrel aging and the use of enameled tanks. Barrel aging imparts a complex fragrance to the spirit, while enameled tanks contribute to a smooth, robust flavor profile. Both methods are part of Beniotome's committment to creating a refined, deluxe product that challenges the traditional perception of shochu a cheap liquor. 

Beniotome Gold is not only a reflection of the distillery's innovative aging techniques but also of its founder, Haruno Hayshida's vision to elevate shochu into a luxurious and sophisticated spirit. Despite the challenges she faced as a 65-year-old woman in a field dominated by tradition, her passion and determination helped establish Beniotome Distillery as a leader in the craft of premium shochu production.
