Distillery

Ah, speaking of Karuizawa, it's quite a legendary story. Thinking of it as "out of print" is a particularly apt metaphor. The reason is actually simple, and quite brutal: the distillery that produced ...

You've hit on a great question! The stills at these three distilleries truly embody their unique characters. Let's not get bogged down in technical parameters; instead, imagine them as three chefs wit...

Haha, that's a great question! The term "Ghost Distillery" is actually quite common in whisky circles. Let me explain it to you in plain language.

Ah, it's quite a pity when you talk about this. Simply put, Karuizawa was a victim of unfortunate timing, collapsing in the darkness just before the dawn.

Speaking of Karuizawa's founding philosophy, it's quite interesting. Unlike many new distilleries today that start with a grand "brand story" or complex philosophy, Karuizawa's approach was incredibly...

The Karuizawa Distillery was founded in 1955. The company that established it was called "Daikoku Budoshu Co., Ltd." (大黑葡萄酒株式会社). You might not have heard of this company, as it primarily produced win...

Hey, this is an interesting question. A "Ghost Distillery," in simple terms, refers to distilleries that have already shut down and no longer produce whisky.

Haha, that's a very interesting question, and one that many friends new to Japanese whisky often wonder about. The simple and direct answer is: Yes, but it's completely different from the 'regional st...

When it comes to Japanese whisky, names like Suntory's Yamazaki and Hakushu, or Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo, might immediately come to mind. However, the most exciting developments in Japanese whisky...

Ah, when it comes to Mars Shinshu, I'm wide awake! The altitude of this place is indeed a secret weapon for the flavor of their whisky. Simply put, you can imagine an oak barrel as a "living thing" th...

Let's put it this way: you can imagine the world of Japanese whisky as a star-studded stage. At the center of this stage have always stood Suntory (Yamazaki, Hakushu) and Nikka (Yoichi, Miyagikyo), tw...

Hello, that's a great question! These two distilleries can be described as a "peerless duo" in Japanese whisky, yet they have completely different personalities.

Ah, speaking of Yamazaki, that's an excellent question. Calling it the "birthplace of Japanese whisky" is truly no exaggeration. You can understand it this way: before Yamazaki, there was no proper, d...

Ah, speaking of Hakushu, its geographical characteristics are truly fascinating, and they are the core secret behind its unique flavor. Simply put, there are three keywords: forest, excellent water, a...

哈，聊到日果（Nikka）这个话题，那可就绕不开它的两位“顶梁柱”了。这就好比一个武林门派里的两位绝世高手，风格迥异，但合在一起就天下无敌。 日果旗下的两大核心蒸馏厂，分别是： 余市（Yoichi）蒸馏厂 宫城峡（Miyagikyo）蒸馏厂 你可以这么理解它们俩的关系和区别： 余市（Yoichi）：像个硬汉，是“大哥” 地点： 在北海道，一个天寒地冻、靠着海的地方。

Haha, this question really gets to the "beginning" of Japanese whisky! The first commercial whisky distillery in Japan was the Yamazaki Distillery.
