Shizuoka Whisky

Shizuoka distillery literally blends into the nature around it, using fermentation tanks made from local cedar and stills fired by regional fuel. Located at the foot of Mount Fuji, they use generous amounts of cypress to reflect the climate and surroundings directly in the whisky. This is Japanese whisky where place matters as much as recipe.

About Shizuoka

Shizuoka is a Japanese distillery emphasising local materials such as cedar and cypress in production. For newcomers it's a unique entry into Japanese whisky with a strong sense of terroir; for collectors, Japanese whisky as a category has seen sharply rising prices, and smaller, terroir-focused distilleries like Shizuoka have earned strong recognition among connoisseurs.

History & Background

The Shizuoka distillery was founded in 2016 by Gaia Flow Distilling Co. in Shizuoka Prefecture, known for its deep forests and cypress trees, which the distillery deliberately weaves into its identity. Among other things, local cypress is used in the construction of the warehouses, and the distillery experiments with several types of malted and unmalted barley as well as different still styles from pot to Coffey.

Production & Style

The experimental approach to distillation gives a broad range of styles from the same distillery.
