Founded in 1910, Matsui Shuzou Distillery sits just northwest of Kyoto, facing the Sea of Japan in the Tottori Prefecture.

This volcanic environment has a spring water source used to distill their Sake, Shochu, and Whisky and bring it to proof. This distinctive water has filtered through the volcanic stone for eons resulting in an incredibly pure, distinctive soft mineral composition. The Matsui Shuzou Distillery produces some highly regarded whiskies including some single malts under the Kurayoshi brand as well as five-grain whiskies under their Tottori label.
