About Brewery

Eigashima Shuzo

Eigashima Shuzo is located just a rock’s skip away from Kobe Bay and ocean-laden air is reflected in its whisky’s savory, saline-driven purity. The origin of the town of Akashi, translated as the “Sun Rise City,” dates back over 500 years. Here, less than 100 yards from the ocean, the family behind Eigashima Shuzo has been making traditional Japanese alcoholic beverages such as sake for over three centuries. Eigashima Shuzo holds Japan’s first whisky license, issued in 1919, and remains the country’s smallest whisky producer. Serious malt production at the distillery did not begin until 1984, when the current copper pot stills were put into action and a focus on premium whiskies began at its ‘White Oak’ facility. Following a program dedicated to crafting a refined and elegant whisky, the distillery limits production to ensure that quality is preeminent, making Eigashima’s Akashi one of the most respected labels in Japanese whisky today.
