COMPANY Corporate profile

When I tried the so-called "Old Karuizawa whisky" that was once produced in Miyota, I was surprised at how delicious it was.

When the distillery closed, the whisky that was left had aged over time and become even more delicious. When I drank it, I felt that this was indeed culture, and at the same time, I felt a strong desire to revive it and make it a beloved local culture.

Karuizawa is blessed with a wonderful natural environment and local culture that has made the area over time one of the leading holiday villa destinations in Japan. We are confident that we can add a new element of culture so that people will say, "When you think of Karuizawa, you think of whisky," an element that will be loved by local people.

​With all these factors in mind, we have at long last launched the new "Karuizawa Whisky". Our aim is to create a Karuizawa-born whisky that is unique in the world. By taking advantage of the local water and climate, and using mainly locally produced ingredients, we will strive to produce a flavor that can only be found in "Karuizawa Whisky".
