Tano spirits
Tano Spirits is an independent koji brewery, urban distillery, and cellar door bar tucked into the creative industrial pocket of Beavers Road in Northcote, Melbourne. Founded by head distiller Fletcher Anderson and COO Kevin Hamilton, Tano pairs centuries-old Japanese and Korean fermentation traditions with premium Australian grains and botanicals.
Growing its own koji and nuruk cultures on site, Tano crafts authentic, small-batch honkaku shochu, awamori, and Korean sool (makgeolli and cheongju) by hand. Backed by a bar boasting one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest collections of artisanal Asian spirits, Tano is dedicated to making fermentation-forward spirits accessible, exciting, and deeply connected to local art and community culture.
Enjoy a refreshing soda-and-citrus-filled Shochu “Chu-Hai” or a “Sool Spritz” paired with Asian bar snacks in the sun filled cellar door surrounded by street art from dozens of local artists!
Try a Shochu or Sool tasting paddle, or take a tour and go behind the scenes to learn from the makers themselves what makes Tano so unique in the Australian distilling landscape
