3S - Super Shochu Spirits
3S – Super Shōchū Spirits is a premium shōchū brand that collaborates with a carefully selected group of Japanese distillers , all recognized as true artisans of shōchū. Heirs to a know-how passed down through generations, these producers are committed to constantly perfecting their techniques, driven by the desire to preserve tradition while evolving it for future generations.
The selection offered by 3S brings together some of the finest shōchū that Japan has to offer, combining the richness of its terroirs , respect for traditional methods, the talent of its artisans, and an innovative approach. Partner distilleries include Ohishi, located in Kumamoto Prefecture, and Yanagita , in Miyazaki Prefecture, considered one of the jewels of shōchū production.
The 3S Super Shōchū Spirits brand was created by the Japanese company G-Bridge Co., Ltd. , headed by Masafumi Terasawa . As the only company importing undiluted shōchū into France, G-Bridge exclusively targets these products at the European market, making them currently unavailable in Japan.
By deliberately moving away from flavored and industrial products, 3S aims to establish itself among spirits recognized for their taste quality , highlighting meticulous work on the raw material, notably sweet potato , an emblematic ingredient of shōchū.
Through this approach, 3S Super Shōchū Spirits also intends to break with the image of a popular drink consumed without ritual, in order to reposition shōchū as a spirit to be savored , embodying culture, precision, and artisanal excellence. Read less
