2. What is Yuza Distillery?

The Yuza Distillery is the third whisky distillery in the Tohoku region, and was established in Yuza-machi, Yamagata Prefecture in 2018 by Kinryu Co.

Yuza-cho is blessed with fresh, clean air and water from Mt. Chokai, which has been selected as one of the “100 best water towns” in Japan, and is ideal for producing top-quality whisky.

The pot stills used are made by Forsyth, and five fermentation tanks are made of Canadian bay pine. The process and aging methods are also based on Scottish methods, with young whisky not being casked, and only whisky that has been fully matured to its satisfaction is produced, focusing only on single malts. Because it is a small distillery that cannot mass-produce whisky, they go to great lengths in every detail to produce the highest quality whisky with the utmost care.

Yuza Distillery Whisky
“TLAS” concept

The whisky produced at Yuza Distillery is based on the concept of “TLAS,” which stands for
Tiny, Lovely, Authentic, and Supreme.
The concept of the distillery is “TLAS”, which stands for the initials of the above.

The Yuza Distillery is a very small distillery for a whisky distillery, with a site area of approximately 4,550 square meters and a distillery area of approximately 620 square meters. The exterior of the distillery may look small and cute, but the whisky produced here is authentic and of the highest quality. While using traditional production methods, the distillery also has a Japanese style of “monozukuri” (craftsmanship), which makes it a one-of-a-kind Japanese whisky.
