YOICHI

Yoichi is a whisky distillery located in Japan, founded in 1934 by Masataka Turetsuru, the father of Japanese whisky. The location of the distillery was carefully chosen by its creator to ensure that the climatic conditions were similar to those of Scotland. Whisky production did not begin until 1936, and marketing only started in 1940 under the name Nikka Whisky. The distillery is part of the legendary Japanese group Nikka.
