The name "Kanekou" points to the historical significance and long heritage of the Shinzato Distillery. Established in 1846, Shinzato Distillery is the oldest existing distillery in Okinawa and holds the distinction of being one of the first licensed producers of "Awamori" in the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom era (1429-1879). Awamori is a traditional Okinawan spirit that is more than 500 years old. It was a prestigious drink enjoyed by the nobles of the Ryukyu Kingdom and was also a common tribute to the Qing Dynasty and the Tokugawa Shogunate.

The Shinzato Distillery operated under the name "Kanekou" at that time, which is where the "Kanekou Whisky" label originated.

This venerable distillery has remained true to its motto "Wajo Ryoshu" (translated: "good wine, brewed in the spirit of harmony") for hundreds of years.

Only malt and grain whisky, aged three years or more, and rice whisky, aged for more than 8 years in sherry casks, are blended.

Ryukyu Whisky is made exclusively from rice and aged in oak barrels in Okinawa's subtropical climate. The hot and humid climate accelerates the aging process in the barrels, while the gentle breeze from the Pacific Ocean adds a hint of subtropical flavor.
