SAKURAO DISTILLERY is located in Hatsukaichi, with the Seto Inland Sea to the south and the Chugoku Mountains to the north.Warm winds from the sea and cold winds from the mountains reach the warehouse in Sakurao, ensuring a large temperature difference is maintained throughout the year.

This temperature difference helps to accelerate the whisky maturation process. Because the storage facilities are facing the sea, the subtle aroma of the Seto Inland Sea also infuses into the casks.
