When did Japan start making whisky?
In 1923, when Shinjiro Torii began building the Yamazaki distillery near Kyoto, with Masataka Taketsuru as his distiller. Torii’s company became Suntory. Taketsuru had learned his trade in Scotland, including at Longmorn and at Hazelburn in Campbeltown.
How did Nikka begin?
Masataka Taketsuru left Torii’s company and moved to Hokkaido, choosing Yoichi for its Scottish-like climate, water and nearby peat. His company was first called Dai Nippon Kaju, the “Great Japanese Juice Company”, and sold apple juice while the whisky matured. Production began in 1936 and the first whisky went on sale as Nikka in 1940.
