Why Choose Sakurao Single Malt Whisky?

If you’re looking for a whisky that’s well-made, with a balance of complexity and approachability, Sakurao is a great choice. It’s a solid option for anyone wanting to try something different from the usual single malts, without feeling overwhelming.

What makes Sakurao Distillery unique in Japanese whisky production?

Sakurao Distillery, based in Hiroshima, offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Founded in 2018 by Chugoku Jozo, a company with over 100 years of spirits-making experience, the distillery brings a fresh perspective to Japanese whisky.

What sets Sakurao apart is its coastal location. The sea air and changing seasons help accelerate cask maturation, adding a subtle maritime character to the whisky. Sakurao produces both single malt whiskies under the “Sakurao” label and blended whiskies under the “Togouchi” name.

They use a wide range of casks — including Mizunara, bourbon, and sherry — to create whiskies that are balanced, complex, and full of character. Whether you’re a new enthusiast or an experienced collector, Sakurao whiskies offer a modern take on Japanese craftsmanship.
