Since 1934 — 余市町, Hokkaido

Yoichi is the origin of Nikka Whisky, founded in 1934 when Masataka Taketsuru chose this spot at the neck of the Shakotan Peninsula for its resemblance to Scotland. The distillery still practises coal-fired direct-heat distillation — now rare anywhere in the world — producing powerful, weighty malt whisky matured in a maritime climate. Guided tours run by reservation.
