The Yasato Distillery was constructed at the eastern foot of Mount Tsukuba, in the Yasato area of Ishioka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, with the goal of developing the production of Japanese whisky. The environment and abundant, high-quality spring water from Mount Tsukuba are the sources of the whisky produced by Kiuchi Brewery.
