## A New World of Distillation Challenged by a Sake Brewery
Founded in 1865 (first year of Keio), our company has pursued fermentation culture centered on Japanese sake, and expanded its business domain by launching a 'Distillation Department' in 1984. Continuing to take on challenges with both brewed and distilled liquors, we entered the whisky business from the spring of 2021 as a new stage.
With 'Tradition x Innovation' as our keyword, we are taking on the challenge of creating a one-of-a-kind whisky by combining the techniques we have cultivated so far with new ideas.
We do not compromise on ingredients, using carefully selected malt, and employing sake yeast for fermentation. With an approach unique to a sake brewery, we pursued the flavor of 'Japanese Whisky'.
Furthermore, delicate senses and judgment of artisans are required in the processes from distillation to cask filling. By not missing even a slight change in temperature or aroma for a moment, and by carefully accumulating each process, we are creating a whisky with a rich flavor and personality.
