Tenguzakura (天狗櫻)

Date of visit: 28 Jun 2015 - Day2 of Kagoshima trip (photo only)
 
"Tenguzakura" is a brand of Shiraishi Shuzo (白石酒造) located in Ichiki of Kagoshima.
 
Although I knew the distillery was closed on Sunday, but I just wanted to drop by to take a photo because I just had "Tenguzakura" on a previous night and I liked it sooooo much. It had a very pleasant natural sweetness and rich flavor from sweet potato.
 
It was a small and pretty distillery and there was "Tengu" on the wall (bottom left) !!! "Tengu", the name and logo of the brand,  is a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion and are also considered a type of Shinto god (kami) or yōkai (supernatural beings). Wasn't it pretty ???
