Asaka is the only whisky distillery in the Tohoku region, and benefits from the exceptional natural resources in the area. The water used to produce its whiskies comes from Lake Inawashiro, one of the largest lakes in the country, located just south of Mount Bandai. The family business, with a total of three people, has equipped itself with tools worthy of its ambitions. The 390m² distillery houses two pot stills made in Japan, and a 790m² cellar where the distillate is aged in bourbon barrels for at least three years. It's a traditional distillery that uses ancestral methods and prides itself on its refined whiskies, a reflection of their country.
