--is at Lat.43 10'N.Lon.14045'E, or about the same Latitude as the middle of New York State, Toronto Canada, Vladivostok Russia. --rests about 50km west of Sapporo City in southern Hokkaido, which is the northernmost of Japan's four principal islands, and was one of the last Japanese frontiers to be developed. --has three sides surrounded by mountains, and one side on the coast (Sea of Japan). --is blessed with the things that really matter to great whisky. However, Scotch whisky captured the young man's imagination, as well as the interest of few other enterprising Japanese of that day. He decided to dedicate his life to whisky.

Catch the JR rapid to Otaru and then a local train to Yoichi. Just over an hour or so all up. A very short walk then from the train station to the distillery (5 mins). Grounds of the distillery are lovely. It rained when we were there but the supply of comp umbrellas to use on site sorted that out. You can join a tour or wander yourself. We did the latter and we didn’t feel that we missed anything. Free tastings are on offer as are paid tastings if you want to try something a bit more special. Lots of options in the gift shop of course for boozy souvenirs! PS JR rail passes are good for the whole trip. No need to buy extra tickets.

I love whisky distilleries and this one did not disappoint (except for one thing, to be mentioned below). The location was breathtaking, in the Japanese Southern Alps, and the tour was fantastic. There's a museum of whisky, and a restaurant on site. It culminated with a great tasting. The production capacity appeared very high, and there's a lot of barrels aging. Unfortunately there was no ability to buy a bottle of the whisky made on site. That was my only disappointment. The bar in the visitor's center was really special. They were pouring some incredible whisky for really good prices. This is a must-see day-trip from Tokyo.
