Yoichi Distillery lies in southern Hokkaido and has three sides surrounded by mountains, a terrain much similar to the one found in Scotland, where Masataka studied the art of Whisky production and returned to Japan as a master blender — with a Scottish wife to boot. Yoichi possesses its own cooperage and is particularly careful when selecting its barrels.
