Shizuoka Green Tea Shochu: Hachijyuhachiya Chakkiri Bushi!

Shizuoka Green Tea has been overused, and this in very dubious ways, all over Japan to create so-called “true Shizuoka Green Tea products” although not made inside our Prefecture and with untraceable ingredients.
Hachijyuhachiya Chakkiri Bushi by Fujinishiki Brewery in Fujinomiya City is the only authentic Shizuoka Green Tea Shochu. Full stop!

Accordingly Fujinishiki Brewery is the only one to dare advertising it as such in no uncertain terms: 静岡茶焼酎/Shizuoka Cha Shochu/Shizuoka Green Tea Shochu!
