Mars Komagatake Distillery(Hombo Shuzo)|Detailed information about the distillery
Founded in 1872. Hombo Shuzo, a general liquor manufacturer including shochu and wine, revived the distillery in 2011 after it was closed in 1922 due to the whisky depression. Kiichiro Iwai, known as the man who sent Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whiskey, to Scotland, was once involved in the distillery as an advisor. It is also known for being the first distillery in Japan to exchange sake with other distilleries, something that had never been done before.
