Goro, named after the distillery’s founder, is made with domestic short-grain Japanese rice for black koji propagation and locally harvested sweet potatoes from farmer Takuro Fukumoto. The two-stage fermentation is done entirely in clay amphora before being single pot-distilled. Goro is aged in enamel tanks for at least one year before being diluted with the same firefly spring water before bottling at 25% ABV.

Situated at the southern end of the Koshiki Island chain, Yoshinaga Distillery was founded by Goro Yoshinaga in 1902 and today is operated by the current master brewer-distiller, Keisuke Kawabata. One of just two distilleries on the islands, all of Yoshinaga’s shochu is made with their famed spring water, known as firefly water because it's so pure that fireflies thrive in the areas where it bubbles to the surface.
