Frequently asked
Yoichi vs Miyagikyo?
Nikka's two production distilleries with distinctively different characters. Yoichi (Hokkaido, coastal, coal-fired) is heavy, peated, robust. Miyagikyo (Sendai, valley, steam-heated) is elegant, fruity, refined. Yin and yang of Nikka's malt production.
When was Miyagikyo founded?
1969 by Masataka Taketsuru — 35 years after Yoichi. Founded to expand Nikka's malt whisky production and provide a contrasting elegant character to complement Yoichi's robust style.
Why between two rivers?
Miyagikyo distillery sits at the confluence of the Nikkawa and Hirosegawa rivers. Excellent water quality was the specific reason Taketsuru chose this location — soft water contributes to Miyagikyo's elegant character.
