Basically, Yamazakura was meant to be Sasanokawa Shuzo's premium brand, intended to balance out the far more popular whiskies that were made specifically for mixing.\n\nThe Asaka Distillery is situated in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture. Asaka the First, the first-ever single malt whisky, was released in December 2019. Asaka Distillery is not a newly created company. The business that owns it is Sasanokawa Shuzo Co. Ltd Japan established in 1765, obtained a license to manufacture whisky in 1946. We have been making it ever then, being the Tohoku region's oldestwhisky distillery. Since ancient times, people in Japan have used kanji to tell the time and direction. The term \"Japanese twelve zodiac signs\" refers to the twelve animal signs that are used as a symbol for each year, and one of the animal signs is the dragon. As each zodiac rotates once every twelve years, the goal is to be able to continue aging the whisky.","brand":"Yamazakura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45699785818348,"sku":"S127","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0906\/7500\/files\/Yamazakura-Asaka-2024-Dragon-Label.webp?v=1725746424"},{"product_id":"yamazakura-963-18-year-old-single-cask","title":"Yamazakura 963 18 Year Old Single Cask","description":"This brand new Yamazakura 963 18 Year Old is the first single cask pure malt whisky in the popular 963 range and it's available first right here on dekanta.
