Wakatsuru Shuzo · Toyama · founded 1862
Heavily peated, which almost no one expects from Japan. Smoke, sea air and a long mineral finish. The distillery cast its own pot still with a local foundry.
Ohishi Shuzo · Kumamoto · founded 1872
Made from rice, not barley, by a family who have brewed sake for five generations. Soft, dried fruit, almost no burn. The bottle that converts people who think they dislike whisky.
Nagahama Roman Brewery · Shiga · founded 1996
From the smallest distillery in Japan, beside Lake Biwa, in a building that is still a brewpub. Finished in Yamazakura casks: honey, orange peel, a little woodsmoke.
Still open
Bottles from previous seasons, while they last. Members keep access to everything they have tasted.
Kaikyo Distillery · Hyogo · sake brewers since 1917
Light, orchard fruit, a clean finish. The one most members bought twice, and the easiest introduction to give someone as a gift.
