Infused with aromas of sugarcane, citrus, papaya, and lemongrass, this rum delivers a refreshing tropical fruit character. Layers of citrus, chamomile, star anise, and cinnamon add delicate complexity, while the palate remains dry and crisp.
Co-crafted by Oyama Jinhichi Shoten in Ibusuki, Kagoshima Prefecture, this artisanal Japanese white rum is styled after traditional white rum. Made from locally grown black sugar refined into high-concentration molasses, it captures rich flavors and smooth umami through meticulous hand-processing. Double distillation in copper stills ensures small-batch production of refined quality. Entirely additive-free, it is crafted using Japanese ingredients and distilling techniques.
The name “Acou” comes from the ancient “Akou” tree of Miyano-hama in Ibusuki, symbolizing resilience and local spirit. This rum embodies the region’s black sugar heritage, distillation traditions, and modern design aesthetics, standing as one of the few truly local, entirely original Japanese rums.
