The Shinobu Distillery in collaboration with Niigata Beer Distillery is located in the Japanese seaside region of Niigata on the countrys western coast. The area is famous for its Three White Treasures: snow, rice and sake which have been cultivated there for centuries. Shinobu Pure Malt whiskies are crafted by master blender, Mr. Usami Ken who blends malts aged in sherry, bourbon and Hogshead casks before finishing them in Japans prized Mizunara Oak. Famous for imparting rich, honeyed flavors of apples, pears, cloves and nutmeg, Mizunara Oak has been used in Japan since the 1930s and is now sought-after by whisky makers around the world. All Shinobu whiskies are created without chill-filtration or added color to protect and enhance their deeply complex, robust flavor.Nose: Smells creamy and minty with some light peat and a touch of lemon.

Nakano BC Nakano BC Japanese Craft GIN KODACHI
You can enjoy the rich taste of cedar and cypress harvested in the area where Kumano Kodo is a World Heritage Site. Mainly uses “Kishu sugi (cypress)” and Kishu Kumano hinoki(cedar)” which are famous as “Kishu wood”, and uses juniper berry as the base of the aroma of gin. The fragrances of the three materials contain a lot of ingredients called “”alpha pinene”” and deepen the fragrance of each other. At first, the scent of Japanese cedar rises, and when you put it in your mouth, the calm and thick scent and flavor of Japanese cypress spreads a little later. Refreshing and smooth texture with Wakayama citrus, and sharp aftertaste with Wakayama Japanese pepper
