He sought a setting reminiscent of Scotland, with a cool climate and good water resources. Yoichi lies at the foot of the Shakotan Peninsula, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The distillery still uses pot stills heated directly by coal fires. Their straight necks and downward-sloping lyne arms are among the production choices that shape the robust style of its malt whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1969, Taketsuru expanded the company with Miyagikyo, west of Sendai. The second distillery was established to offer more blending possibilities through a different malt style. Here, pot stills with bulbous necks and upward-sloping lyne arms are heated indirectly by steam. Repeated reflux during distillation supports the distillery’s lighter, fruity and floral style. Miyagikyo also operates traditional continuous Coffey stills for grain whisky. These retain more of the grain’s character than modern distillation columns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot smoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGift packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlended\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e0.7 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e43%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOfficial bottling\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMarket operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNikka\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eThe Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., Ltd.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask types\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePredominantly American oak casks and former sherry casks\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Nikka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40538609025159,"sku":"520133-00","price":93.4,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8734\/8871\/files\/nikka_tailored_132034.jpg?v=1725083020"},{"product_id":"nikka-days","title":"Nikka Days","description":"\u003cp\u003eVolume: 0.7 liters | Alcohol content: 40% | Not chill-filtered | No coloring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNikka Days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features:\u003c\/strong\u003e This blend combines carefully selected grain and malt whiskies, predominantly aged in former American oak barrels.

On Hokkaido, he found conditions that reminded him of Scotland: a cool climate, water and humid air. The distillery stands at the foot of the Shakotan Peninsula, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the Sea of Japan. The Yoichi River supplies water for production, while the cool climate favours slow cask maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoichi continues to use directly coal-fired pot stills. Their straight heads and downward-sloping connecting pipes form part of the technical foundation of its robust spirit. The distillers must carefully control the coal supply to regulate the heat. Taketsuru knew this method from his training at Longmorn in Scotland. Cooperage also has a long history at Yoichi: to establish whisky production, he brought in experienced coopers whose expertise, initially acquired in making beer casks, was developed further to meet the demands of whisky maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGift packaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSingle Malt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e0.7 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e47%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOfficial bottling\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottling year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMarket operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNikka\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNikka Whisky Distilling Co.

The cool, misty surroundings and water from the Central Alps were important reasons for choosing this location, where rain and meltwater seep through granitic ground. After distillation stopped in 1992 because of demand conditions, the distillery resumed operations in 2011.

On Hokkaido, he found the conditions he knew from Scotland: a cool climate, clear air and suitable water resources. The distillery lies at the foot of the Shakotan Peninsula, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the Sea of Japan. The Yoichi River supplies water for production, while the cool climate favours slow maturation in casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoichi uses stills with straight necks and downward-sloping lyne arms. Their direct coal firing follows the method Taketsuru had learned at Longmorn. The distillers must carefully regulate the coal supply to control the heat. This method, now rare, contributes to the heavy, flavour-rich spirit. Nikka\u0026#39;s cask-making also has its roots here: Taketsuru brought experienced beer-barrel coopers to Yoichi, where they developed suitable whisky casks.

An important milestone was the introduction of Mellowed Kozuru in 1957: Kanosuke Komasa had matured this rice shochu in oak casks for six years.

For the new oak casks, the choice fell on puncheons holding around 450 litres rather than smaller barrels: Hioki\u0026#39;s warm climate accelerates maturation and influenced this decision.

Opened in 2017, Sakurao Distillery is in Hatsukaichi on the Seto Inland Sea. Its team draws on more than a century of sake and shōchū production. For its malt whiskies, the distillery first uses an adapted pot still, followed by a hybrid still for the second distillation. Its barley grain whisky first passes through a still previously used for shōchū, then through a specially developed column still. The Togouchi casks are stored in an underground cellar at Akiota-Togouchi, where conditions slow extraction from the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot smoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGift box\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlended\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e0.7 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e40%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDistillery bottling\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMarket operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSakurao Brewery and Distillery Co., Ltd.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eTogouchi\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Togouchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54903760486773,"sku":"520206-01","price":56.55,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8734\/8871\/files\/togouchi_kiwami_neue_ausstattung_2025_701479.jpg?v=1735827512"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bringts.ch\/en\/collections\/whisky-aus-japan.oembed?page=8","provider":"bringts.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
