芋焼酎（Imo－Jyo-chu）： A kind of 焼酎（Sho-chu）, strong liquor, made from sweet potato. Imo-jyo-chu has been made for over 500 years in Kagoshima as a traditional alcohol; it is also protected by the WTO. It tastes very rich and has a peculiar smell. Recently, odourless Imo-jyo-chu has been produced for people who don’t like the smell. Three kinds of Imo-jyo-chu, Mori-izo, Maou and Murao are very rare.

The local custom is to drink shochu mixed with hot water, called "お湯割り" (oyu-wari).
