Kurayoshi Distillery (Matsui Shuzo)

Matsui Shuzo, a sake brewery in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, which was founded in 1910, obtained a whisky production license in 2015. In 2017, we introduced three pot stills and began distilling whisky in earnest. The whisky “Kurayoshi”, which started selling in 2016 before starting whisky distillation in-house, seems to have been made with imported original sake.
