The Sea Breeze of Yoichi and the Wind of Miyagikyo: A Gem of Japanese Whisky Born from Different Climates

The brand's "myth and history" began when Masataka Taketsuru, known as the "Father of Japanese Whisky," established "Dai Nippon Kaju Co., Ltd." in 1934. Currently, they produce whisky in two northern lands: a powerful and profound type of malt whisky in Yoichi, Hokkaido, and a gorgeous and gentle type in Miyagikyo, Miyagi Prefecture. The globally highly evaluated "Taketsuru Pure Malt" is a masterpiece rich in aroma that exquisitely combines these.
