Transcending 100 Years of Time
Shochu brewing began in 1909 when the Hombo Brothers Company was established by three brothers. In 1918, they introduced a continuous distillation machine, considered state-of-the-art in Japan.
In 1928, the Hombo family invested, changing the firm into the Hombo Corporation. During the early Showa period, Takaraboshi Shochu supported the company’s growth.
The Hombo family transitioned their business from agriculture to processing and selling local products, eventually transforming into a successful corporation. Hombo Shuzo, with a history spanning over 100 years, preserves its founding spirit and pursues Hombo Quality.
