In 2019, the company established Niigata Small-Scale Distillery LLC, with distillation beginning in February 2021. In addition to imported malt, the distillery will also use locally grown "Yukihana Rokujo" malt from Niigata. The distillery also plans to malt in-house and produce its own grain whiskey. While commercialization is still a long way off, "New Pot Peated" made waves when it won the "World's Best" award in the New Make & Young Spirits category at the 2023 World Whisky Awards. Yoshida Denzai Distillery Full-scale operations will begin in October 2022. Masafumi Matsumoto, the third-generation president and distillery director of Yoshida Denzai Kogyo, a manufacturer and distributor of medical and industrial equipment, graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture and is a huge whiskey fan. This is Japan's first craft distillery to produce American-style and bourbon-style grain whiskey. Their commitment to quality shines through in their use of rice and buckwheat, two of Japan's most representative grains. Their dream is to supply grain whiskey to craft distilleries producing malt whiskey, ultimately resulting in the creation of Japan's first craft blended whiskey. Ikawa Distillery In 2020, paper manufacturer Tokushu Tokai Paper opened a distillery in their own location, deep in the forests of the Southern Alps, at the source of the Oi River. They explored new ways to utilize water and forest resources, and established Toyama Co., Ltd. Located at an altitude of 1,200m. The potential of whiskey production, combining abundant spring water filtered through pristine forest soil, barrels made from rare trees like Mizunara oak, and aging in a unique terrain that has taken years to create, is now attracting attention. We will also bring you coverage of the "Whiskey & Spirits Festival 2024 in Yokohama." "#Whiskypedia" is a program and website that brings together knowledge and information about #whisky. This program offers a fun way to learn about whiskey, which has developed a unique culture over its long history and with the passage of time, unravel its profound appeal from various angles, and discover special whiskeys. Connecting remotely with overseas stations and filming on location in Japan, the program will feature "A Journey to a Distillery" and "Bar Masters and Other Experts Discuss the Individuality of Whisky." Learn about "Whiskey Theory from Whisky Lovers" through "Interviews." The program and website will cover a wide range of whiskey-related information and events, creating a whiskey bible. ▼Cast Narrator: Munetaka Aoki 《Broadcast Date》 Airing every Thursday from 12:00 AM to 12:25 AM on BS Fuji! *Streaming begins one week after the latest episode airs! #Whiskypedia #Whisky #BSFuji ▼Program Website: https://www.bsfuji.tv/whiskypedia/ ▼BS Fuji Shopping: https://www.bsfuji.shop/shopbrand/cat... ▼Program X:   / web_whiskypedia   ▼Program Instagram:   / web_whiskypedia   *Videos have a streaming limit and may be removed without notice.
