THE STORY OF SHINOBU DISTILLERY
Shinobu Distillery?is located in beautiful Niigata? prefecture of Japan, a place that is praised locally by its??three white treasures,??namely SNOW, RICE AND SAKE.
In the distillery lives a passionate whisky lover and an experienced brewer, Mr.?Ken Usami,?who also? founded? the craft beer brewery? called?Niigata Beer?20 years ago in the same town. As an innovator by heart, Mr. Usami was the first brewer to apply SECONDARY BOTTLE FERMENTATION AND AGING in Niigata beer.
Mr. Usami dreams of creating a local whisky distillery that will be able to showcase the quality of local pure water and serves the passionate community of spirit lovers. Finally in 2017, Mr. Usami obtained the first whisky license for Niigata (another FIRST!) and thus started his journey of becoming a distiller.
While the distillery is still under construction, Mr. Usami wants to experiment with blending WORLD WHISKIES to create the unique flavours of? Japan. Thus the first expressions of Mizunara oak finish are born.
