Gaiaflow Shizuoka Distillery

Gaiaflow Distillering Co., Ltd. purchased and acquired whisky production equipment from Mercian Karuizawa Distillery in March 2015. Reusable equipment such as crushers and distillers used for malt grinding were relocated to Shizuoka Distillery after repairs and improvements, and preparations for whisky production were promoted.

In 2015, the company began construction of a Shizuoka distillery in the Area called Tamagawa in the Okushizu (Oku-Shizuoka area) in Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and obtained a whisky manufacturing license in September 2016. Whisky production started i

n October 2016. It is manufactured with three distillers: a distiller (K) relocated from Karuizawa Distillation And two Distillers (W) made in Scotland.

A distillery that uses plenty of Hinoki grown in Okushizu and is a naturally one. We aim to create whisky that harmonizes with nature, rooted in the climate of Shizuoka.
