  • Nikka Whisky Yoichi Distillery
    Set along Hokkaido’s rugged coast, the Yoichi Distillery is the birthplace of Nikka Whisky. Founded by Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky, the site was chosen for its similarity to Scotland’s Campbeltown—cool sea air, brisk winters, and ideal conditions for bold, complex whisky. Yoichi remains one of the few distilleries in the world using coal-fired direct distillation, producing rich, full-bodied malts with a salty edge. Its downward-sloping line arms and traditional equipment reflect a deep respect for time-honored techniques. The on-site museum offers insight into Taketsuru’s legacy, Nikka’s craft, and the science of aging and blending. A guided tasting of three exclusive single malts, available only at Yoichi, makes this visit unforgettable for whisky fans and cultural explorers alike. More than a distillery, Yoichi is a living chapter in Japanese whisky history.
