Produced by Kikusui, a Rum distillery located south of the archipelago on the island of Shikoku in a village in the east of the Kohi prefecture, which is known as the oldest producer of sugar cane in Japan. This naturally led to the production of Ryoma Rum, a liquid gold inspired by foreign techniques, with a sparkle of the Japanese culture.
Ryoma Rum is named after Sakamoto Ryōma, a prominent figure in the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate during the Bakumatsu period in Japan. Ryoma Rum is produced from freshly pressed sugar cane, and is aged for 7 years in oak casks. Rum made from sugar cane juice is quite different than Rum made from molasses. It's more pungent, and grassy.
Japan is indeed not the first country to come to mind when thinking about Rum.

Rum is why we measure alcohol proof. To make sure Rum wasn’t watered down, it had to be ‘proven’ by soaking gunpowder with it. If it was ‘overproof’ (higher than 57.15 % vol.), then the gunpowder would ignite, but if it wouldn’t, it was ‘underproof.’
A little bit of etymology; nobody really knows where the word Rum comes from. The most popular suggestions are Rum (the Romani word for 'potent'), Rumbullion (an uproar), Saccharum (sugar in Latin), and Rummer (a Dutch drinking glass).
Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.

Common Rum classifications: White, Golden or Amber, Dark, Spiced, Añejo and Age-Dated Rums.
You might find Rum masquerading itself under other nom de plumes, like Ron, Rom and Rhum.
