Sakurao Distillery

In 1918, CHUGOKU JOZO Co., Ltd. was founded in the town of Sakurao in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima.
Our distinct flavors were born from techniques and traditions that have been cultivated from over 100 years of experience in the production of alcohol, and to this day, these flavors are still loved and fondly enjoyed by many.
However, it has been our belief that it is important to not just rely on traditional techniques alone.
With that in mind, in 2018, we established the SAKURAO DISTILLERY, a craft distillery in Hiroshima, to challenge new possibilities in the production of Western liquors.
We have been driven to the challenge of producing a product that will grab the world’s attention for no other reason than it’s in our DNA to endlessly pursue innovation.
This spirit of innovation from tradition brought us to where we are, and it will continue our story for the next 100 years.
We hope that you are looking forward to the new and innovative flavors that SAKURAO DISTILLERY will develop in the future.
