Nikaido Shuzo
Philosophy
Nikaido Shuzo is one of Oita's premium craft barley shochu producers, making Naka Naka — a mugi shochu of unusual depth and character achieved through careful selection of local barley, white koji fermentation, and precise distillation control.
Reputation
Naka Naka is one of the most sought-after premium mugi shochu expressions — its ironic name (meaning 'not bad' / 'so-so') belies the genuine complexity of the spirit. A favourite among shochu connoisseurs who have moved beyond introductory expressions.
