Sugarcane is usually thought of as something that grows in the south, but there are people who grow it in our hometown of Isumi City. Takashi-san's fields, where he started growing sugarcane about 10 years ago, are sunny and have a pleasant breeze.

In 2022, Perhaps the first rum made from Takashi's sugar cane has stimulated an increase in the number of growers and cultivation areas. We harvested about 2 tons of sugar cane and had the opportunity to extract the juice at the Boso Oikura Distillery, a rum distillery in Minamiboso .
We were able to produce two types of rum, about 100L each: the white RHUM AGRICOLE and the barrel-aged RHUM OR.

As the name "AGRICOLE" suggests, This rum is made possible by being located close to the sugar cane production area, where the juice is extracted from the sugar cane immediately after harvest and fermented in a fresh state, bringing out the fresh flavor and aroma of the ingredients.
Unlike typical rums made with molasses, this rum is characterized by a fruity, light mouthfeel and delicate sweetness.

RHUM AGRICOLE is a white type that is aged in stainless steel tanks for one year after distillation. It has a lower alcohol content than usual, and while it has the soft sweetness and aroma of grassland and seaweed that are characteristic of agricultural rhums, it also has a light taste that makes it suitable for drinking with food.

Sugarcane, typically associated with warmer southern climates, is also cultivated in our local area of Isumi. The sugarcane fields started by Mr. Takashi about 10 years ago benefit from abundant sunlight and a refreshing breeze, creating an ideal environment for growth.

In 2022, the first batch of mitosaya rum was produced and sampled, which seemingly spurred an increase in both the number of cultivators and cultivation areas. This time, we were able to create two types of rum: a white type, RHUM AGRICOLE, and a barrel-aged type, RHUM OR.

Our agricole rum, made by juicing freshly harvested sugarcane and fermenting it immediately, brings out the fresh flavor and aroma of the raw ingredient. Unlike common rums made with molasses, our locally-produced agricole rum is characterized by its fruity and light taste and delicate sweetness, made possible by our proximity to the source.

RHUM AGRICOLE is a white type that has been aged in stainless steel tanks for a year after distillation. The alcohol content is kept lower than usual to preserve the distinctive seaweed-like aroma of agricole rum, while ensuring a light taste that can be enjoyed even with meals.
