Description

Yamazakura is a new release from Sasanokawa distillery, dating back to 1765 with recognised sake and schochu. Based in the city of Koriyama Sasanokawa expanded into whisky in the 1940s. This represents a high-end complement to their entry level whisky range ('Yama' means 'mountain' and 'Sakura' means cherry tree, hence the beautiful label design).
This blend is composed of four malt whiskies and one grain whisky. Orange blossoms on the nose, followed by oak, caramel, and fresh orchard fruit on the palate. Ideal in a highball.

Whisky, Sake & Shochu

Sasanokawa Shuzo

Sasanokawa Shuzo, the producer of Yamazakura whisky, is one of Japan's oldest sake breweries, founded in 1765. The company began producing whisky in 1946, and after obtaining their own Asaka Distillery, they released Yamazakura's first Japanese single malt whisky in 2024. The name Yamazakura means "mountain cherry blossoms" and reflects the natural beauty of Japan's landscape.

The distillery began producing whisky in 1946, originally to supply American occupation troops. The distillery was refounded in 2016, blending its traditional craft with a new, experimental approach to whisky making.

Yamazakura whiskies has won accolades like gold at the World Whiskies Awards and Silver at the International Spirits Challenge.
