Nikka Yoichi Single Malt
Yoichi Single Malt shows the characteristics of Nikka's first distillery built in 1934. Founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned how to make whiskey. It is described as strong and bold. Pleasant notes of mortar and smoke originating from the traditional charcoal distillation, as well as a salty suggestion that the sea breeze provides during the aging process.
Hatozaki Blended
It has a delicate roundness with a rich backbone of malt whiskey, offering cereal notes and a smooth sweetness. Aged for up to 12 years and created through a two-stage blending process, it is never colored or filtered without refrigeration. Unique, delicate and floral. It offers a balanced mouthfeel, with an aromatic palate and floral notes. The style is elegant and light, bringing out significant depth from the malted barley.
Nikka From the barrel + 2 copos + Doseador

The iconic bottle is designed to reflect "a small block of whiskey" - incorporating the strong and rich flavor of whiskey.

To deliver their richness and full flavors, the blended liquid goes to used barrels for a few more months for "wedding" before being bottled.

Nikka Miyagikyo
Miyagikyo Single Malt shows the characteristics of Nikka’s second distillery built in 1969. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose this site in the mountains of Sendai to contrast with his first distillery, Yoichi, which is located in the coastal area. Miyagikyo Single Malt is described as soft and fruity. Using less peaty malt, this whisky is distilled in a pot still heated by indirect steam at a low temperature. Miyagikyo Single Malt has an elegant fruitiness and a distinctive aroma with a strong Sherry cask influence.
Gin 135 East Hyogo Dry
Named after the 135° east meridian that crosses the city of Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture, this gin represents the passion for discovering what lies beyond borders. Inspired by Japan's important Taisho period, this unexpected gin pays homage to a time when Eastern culture merged with Western culture. After carefully examining the flavor profile of over 50 different botanicals, Master Distiller & Blender, Kimio Yonezawa chose to combine 3 traditional European together with 5 uniquely Japanese - all sourced from small local producers and the finest experts in Japan, distilled separately to preserve character, and finally mixed together. Capturing the essence of each Japanese botanist through a vacuum distillation process, a technique used in the luxury perfume industry, 135° East preserves the pure olfactory notes and subtleties of its aromas.
Jinzu
This gin is known for its taste and creaminess. The plants used in its distillation are of Japanese origin, such as cherry blossom and lemon yuzu - a citrus fruit flavored with orange and mandarin and which was the inspiration for the name "Jinzu". The recommendation of the breeder: 50 ml Jinzu, 10 ml Vermouth dry, 5 ml Umeshu (Japanese liquor).

Nikka Coffey Malt
Coffey Malt is an original single malt whiskey, distilled from malt in a Coffey still, and is one of the essential components of the Nikka blends. Coffey still was nicknamed in honor of its inventor, Aeneas Coffey. In 1830, the French-born Irishman would perfect this technique, which would become widely adopted by the Scots to produce blends, allowing them to overtake Ireland as the Whisly producer par excellence. The distillation process is continuous, whereas in the stills used for the production of Single Malts they require two separate distillations. Nikka owns two Coffey stills at her Miyagikyo distillery for the production of her grain whiskeys. Imported from Scotland in 1963, these ancient stills produce very round spirits, with a distinctive character that defines the Nikka signature blends. Gold color. A lively, sour and spicy first nose! Fresh and citrus, it is an ode to lemon, which the sweet Williams pear barely manages to moderate. Fine pepper notes and a dash of balsamic vinegar blend with soft vanilla aromas. On the palate, just as on the nose, its liveliness is supported by mostly citrus aromatic compounds (orange and clementine), which challenge more persuasive notes of coffee, praline and vanilla cream. Surprisingly, it gives way to several types of plum, leaving the false impression of an eau-de-vie. The end of the mouth remains in the over-plum, with a brief appearance of licorice before the fruit aromas are again the center of attention.
