Dal 1976 esperta nell'arte dell'invecchiamento sotterraneo, la distilleria Sakurao invecchia in botti di rovere i suoi whisky sepolti ai piedi del monte Osorakan, diverse centinaia di metri sottoterra.

Queste montagne circostanti sono particolarmente generose anche per il marchio Togouchi, poiché anche l'acqua utilizzata viene prelevata dal fiume Oze.

Queste caratteristiche uniche e differenzianti contribuiscono allo sviluppo di una gamma di whisky eleganti e fruttati, assemblati con precisione.

Experts in the art of underground aging since 1976, Sakurao Distillery has been aging its whiskies in oak barrels buried at the foot of Mount Osorakan, several hundred meters underground.

These surrounding mountains are also particularly generous for the Togouchi brand, as the water used is also taken from the Oze River.

These unique and differentiating characteristics contribute to the development of a range of elegant, fruity whiskies, precisely blended.

Additional details

Togouchi: Japanese roots for more than 100 years.

In 1918, Ichiro Shirai founded the Chugoku Jozo Distillery in Hatsukaishi, in the Hiroshima area, near Seto Beach, where he produced fermented products for the production of sake.

In 1963, 45 years later, the distillery began producing sake and shochu, traditional Japanese spirits, and also a few bottles of a blended whisky made with Scotch whiskies under the name «Glory Whisky Extra».

In 2003 Chugoku Jozo launched the first blended Whisky Togouchi (17 years) which takes its name from the tunnel in which it matures.

In 2013, Togouchi whiskies began their expansion outside of Japan.

The Birth of Sakurao Distillery

In 2018, Ichiro Shirai's heir, Koichiro Shirai, upgraded production facilities to support Togouchi's strong demand and established the Saukorao Distillery right next to the brewery.

The Chugoku Jozo company became the Sakurao Distillery & Brewery.

The distillery is strategically located opposite Miyajima Island, where the famous UNESCO World Heritage gate attracts many tourists every year, further increasing Togouchi's notoriety.

In 2021, the distillery launched its first Togouchi Single Malt.
