Yasato Distillery was established in the Yasato neighborhood of Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, at the eastern foot of Mount Tsukuba, with the goal of developing the production of Japanese whisky. Premium crops are harvested in the area because of its large day-to-night temperature disparity and low annual rainfall. Kiuchi Brewery's whisky is derived from the plentiful, excellent spring water from Mount Tsukuba as well as the local climate.
The name Hinomaru, which is derived from the famous Japanese flag, honors Japan's whisky legacy. This limited-edition product will be of considerable value to both whisky collectors and lovers. Each and every bottle is evidence of the talent and knowledge that go into making this truly exceptional spirit.
