Togouchi's whiskies are uniquely rooted between the land and the sea. The liquids are distilled near the Seto Inland Sea, while the casks are stored in cellars at the foot of the Osorakan mountain, in the small town of Akiota-Togouchi. Crafted and closely monitored by a team of local artisans at Sakurao Distillery, these Japanese whiskies capture several decades of expertise and reflect the passion at the heart of these iconic bottles.
The Sakurao Distillery was founded in 2017, near the Seto inland sea. It relies on more than a century of expertise gained by producing traditional Japanese spirits. Sakurao is now part of a very limited group of japanese distilleries able to produce 100% japanese whiskies as all the malt and grain whiskies used in their blends, is distilled through its stills.

Sakurao Distillery: where tradition meets modernity
The art of distilling is thoughtfully cultivated at Sakurao Distillery.
For malt distillation, the swann neck of the pot still is purposedly modified to retain more esthers and design more complex whiskies. A hybrid still is then used for the second distillation, which results in a higher alcohol volume than usual and fruitier whiskies.
For grain distillation, made out or barley, the traditionnal still that used to be operated for shochu production is used. A second distillation is then operated in a still designed by Sakurao, using the traditional iron still topped with a distillation column. This process leads to a light and floral whisky profile.
