Akashi whisky is the only whisky in the world that is made by a Toji (grand-master in the art of sake making) by implementing sake-making methodologies into the whisky making process. The distil pot used is smaller than those used by both Scottish and other Japanese distilleries, which in turn, decreases the levels of fusel alcohol. As a result, Akashi whisky does not require as long of an ageing process, while its core malt (cask strength) is smooth and delicate.

Etsu, which translates to Pleasure in Japanese, is distilled on the Northern Island of Hokkaido in Japan.100% hand crafted with orange and fresh Yuzu on the nose. The palate is full bodied, with orange peel characters. The finish is fresh and well balanced.

The Nikka Coffey Malt is the result of a unique distillation process in Coffey type column stills, which are normally used for grain whisky production.As such, this unique 100% Coffey malt is categorized as a grain whisky, and offers a surprisingly rich texture with deep oaky notes.

KI NO BI (The Beauty of the Seasons) is inspired by tradition and distilled, blended and bottled in Kyoto. We collaborate with the craftsmen and artisans of Kyoto who refine their skills in the legacy of the generations before them, working continuously in the cultural heart of Japan. Japans first dedicated gin distillery was founded with the sole intention of creating the finest gin possible: made from rice spirit and, wherever possible, using locally sourced botanicals, including yuzu, gyokuro tea and sansho pepper. The Founders are inspired by Kyoto culture, art, craftmanship and agriculture.

Botanicals including double the amount of Yuzu normally used are macerated for 7 days prior to being distilled to extract as much flavour and oils from the botanicals.

Taking on the challenge of low-polished, dry Junmai sake, we use the finest rice suitable for sake brewing, “Omachi rice”. A premium sake that proves that it can be enjoyed without polishing.

Loved since its creation in 1978, our Ginjo Maboroshi Shirobako takes on a more refined character, released now as Daiginjo Maboroshi Shirobako. A daiginjo-shu brewed with yeast extracted from the skin of apples, the rich aromas add volume to the cooling sensation and flavor, leaving an overall refreshing impression. All our specialty sakes made with the original techniques developed around brewing with apple yeast have been crowned with the name “Maboroshi”.

This Junmai Daiginjo with 35% polishing ratio, the highest peak of the “Chiebijin” series, is named after the family’s proprietress, Chie, since its founding in 1874. The aroma is reminiscent of fresh Koyho grapes, and the juicy, gentle flavor and refreshing acidity are beautifully balanced.

An exquisite blend of fragrant strawberries and herbs. The sweet and refreshing aroma of strawberries with a deep and lingering finish of herbs. These seemingly contradictory personalities coexist without canceling each other out, and each sip will make you want to keep tasting this unique marriage. With the juiciness of strawberries shining through the intricately overlapping flavours, this is a gin that evokes the rich climate of tropical Kagoshima. Tasting Notes: Nose: Mellow – Juniper, red berries Palate: Fresh – Strawberry, berries, herbaceous Finish: Persistent – Freshly cut grass

Created by legendary Japanese bartender Danny Aikawa who, in 1979 dreamed of creating a truly unique Japanese liqueur from Ume fruit. As he could only attempt to create this Ume based product once a year, all up it took 17 years to develop the recipe (which is a closely guarded secret). Hoishiko is produced once a year after the Ume harvest in Wakayama prefecture. The Ume are macerated along with a secret blend of spices in alcohol. After several months the Ume and spices are removed and sugar is added to balance out the tart Ume flavour.
