One of the World’s Most Unique Distilleries

Roku stands out as a different gin, one that is particularly Japanese. Its point of difference is mostly due to the precise balance between eight traditional gin botanicals and six uniquely Japanese botanicals. The Suntory Liquor Atelier is a unique distillery that creates a variety of spirits and spirits following the high standards set out by Suntory’s principles of artisanship.

To maintain their renowned standards, Suntory has different kinds of distilling pots at their disposal, so that specific distillation methods may be used to extract the best flavors depending on the type of botanicals in use.

Suntory Yamazaki Distillery

Fans of Japanese whiskey should make time to visit the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery - they offer excellent tours with tastings that are sure to delight those who love this tipple. Actually, it’s pretty interesting even for those who have no real interest in whiskey!

Who could have predicted the rise of Japanese whiskey in the global consciousness? Gourmands all over the world are now clamouring for a taste of the best Japanese stuff. If you’re into whiskey, make sure you head over to the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery to take one of their guided tours.

Here, you’ll gain an insight into just how they make their wonderful tipples. You’ll begin with the mashing area, and go all the way through fermentation and distillation before finishing in the warehouses where the whiskies mature and age in their wooden casks. Don’t worry - you’ll get to taste some at the end of the tour, which lasts about 80 minutes. While it’s conducted only in Japanese, audio guides are available in English, Chinese, and French.

The guided tour does require advance reservations through the Suntory English website. Note that you’ll only be allowed to see the distillation process on a guided tour, so if you show up without warning, you won’t get to see very much besides the Yamazaki Whisky Museum - which isn’t the same as the distillery itself. Either way, though, the gift shop is open to everyone for those all-important purchases of delicious whisky.

The distillery is located near Yamazaki Station on the JR Tokaido Line (between Osaka and Kyoto) and Oyamazaki Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line (also between Osaka and Kyoto). It makes a great day trip out of either Osaka or Kyoto.

Suntory Yamazaki Distillery

suntory osaka distillery tour

The Suntory Yamazaki Distillery (�T���g���[�R�������, Santorī Yamazaki Jōryūsho) is a whisky distillery in the Yamazaki district near Kyoto . Opened in 1923, the distillery produces Suntory's flagship line of Yamazaki whiskies, which have won many international awards.

The Yamazaki Distillery is surrounded by nature and greenery in a quiet and serene district that has long been known for its quality water, a key ingredient to great tasting whisky. The entire process of whisky distillation and aging is done here. A museum and distillery tours are available to tourists; however, prior reservations are required for a visit.

suntory osaka distillery tour

The Yamazaki Whisky Museum is a two-story building that introduces the Suntory company, its founder, Shinjiro Torii, and its history and products. The whisky distillation process is explained on the museum's second floor with miniature models of the equipment. English descriptions are provided. There is also a gift shop on the second floor, offering whisky -related snacks and goods, as well as small bottles of un-aged whisky.

On the ground floor is a whisky library, showcasing the wide variety of whiskies in various shades of brown, yellow and gold. A cash-only tasting counter can be found on the same level, and visitors are welcome to sample a dram of any of the whiskies. Menus are available in both English and Japanese. Prices per dram vary, starting from around 500 yen.

suntory osaka distillery tour

The distillation process can only be viewed on guided tours that allow for entry into the otherwise sealed-off premises. Once in the distillery, the air changes noticeably to smell like sake at first before changing to whisky notes towards the end of the tour. Visitors are brought through the plant in chronological order of whisky-making, starting in the mashing area, then continuing to the fermentation washbacks and the large pot stills used for distillation, before inspecting the warehouse where the casked whiskies are allowed to mature and age.

The tour ends with a whisky tasting session which explains the differences between single malt whiskies and how to enjoy whisky. Regular and prestige tours are offered. Regular tours take about 80 minutes, while prestige tours take around two hours and cover the craftsmanship in more detail and involve the tasting of more exquisite whiskies. Visitors who join guided tours are free to visit the Yamazaki Whisky Museum before or after their tour.

Suntory Yamazaki Whisky Distillery Tours

Whiskey. Ireland and Scotland both claim to have first created it—in fact the word roughly translates to ‘water of life’ in Gaelic. Thanks to globalisation, this dark and brooding spirit has made its way worldwide and into the hands and hearts of millions. These days, Japan is one of the top whiskey producing countries in the world, alongside the usual suspects; Scotland, Ireland, USA and Canada. Join us on a Japanese whisky tour where whisky got its start: Suntory Yamazaki Distillery.    

Yamazaki Distillery Suntory distillery japanese whisky tour

Whiskey in Japan

Whiskey got its start in 1923 in the southwestern Kyoto area of Yamazaki. Located at the foot of Mt.Tennozan where three rivers converge and humidity is high, it was an ideal choice.

suntory osaka distillery tour

The man with the plan was Shinjiro Torii, founder of Suntory. His passion was to domestically produce “a perfect whisky that reflects the nature of Japan and the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship”. It had never before been attempted and he faced many difficulties in the process.

Fast forward to 2003, and the Yamazaki 12 Year Old won Gold at the International Spirits Challenge (the first Japanese Whiskey to do so). Suntory Whiskeys have continued to win many major awards since, solidifying its place on the global whisky market.

Japanese Whisky Tours

It is indeed possible to visit the Yamazaki Distillery where it all began, it’s just a short train ride from both Kyoto and Osaka. Bear in mind that it is an extremely popular spot, so it’s wise to book ahead.

Yamazaki Distillery Suntory distillery japanese whisky tour

Tours of Yamazaki Distillery are arranged by an online reservation system . They suggest one of two experiences: self guided (free) or a paid tour.

suntory osaka distillery tour

The free self-guided tour still requires a reservation and allows you to visit the museum exhibits, museum shop and the tasting counter (paid) at your own pace. Note that you cannot view the production facilities.

suntory osaka distillery tour

The paid tour (in Japanese) includes a tour of the whiskey production facilities, so you can fully appreciate the varieties they produce. It books out weeks, or even months in advance so plan accordingly.

Whiskey Tasting

The highlight of the factory tour is the tasting corner. For a small fee, you can enjoy plenty of delicious whiskeys in search of your favourite.

Yamazaki Distillery Suntory distillery japanese whisky tour

Whiskey requires a long ageing period. Each component from the barrel material, water and malt slowly change the flavour over time, resulting in many varieties. You can enjoy your whiskey with water, the very same pure local water used in production. There may be limited edition whiskeys available, though recent changes and discontinuations may mean you’re relegated to other (equally delicious) drops.

Whisky Tour between Osaka and Kyoto

Suntory Yamazaki: Mountainside Distillery, Museum, Shop

Stacy Kurokawa

From our morning hour-long Suntory brewery visit, we head down the valley to Suntory Whisky Distillery. While the brewery is in Nagaokakyo, the distillery is a 15 minute drive (about ¥600 taxi fare) down the road in Yamazaki. We skirt alongside the bamboo forested Tenno Mountain. The road only accommodates one lane in places. Despite the heat, pedestrians and cyclists line the street near the distillery. They may be also visiting the neighboring, scenic Asahi Art Museum .

We cross the multiple train tracks twice near JR Yamazaki Station. The crossing gates close often, even as I was still bumping across the tracks. I almost hit a post, meant to divide pedestrians from motor vehicles. I am ready for a whisky, but being the designated driver, I am satisfied with the prospect of soaking up the fumes through my nose and pores. This is our third or fourth visit but the first time to drive there during the past six years of married life and of visiting my mother-in-law at her nearby Yamazaki residence during the holidays.

If you come by train, get off at either Yamazaki Station (JR Tokaido Line) or Oyamazaki Station (Hankyu Kyoto Line) and walk 10 minutes. The imposing, well-signed brewery looms on the mountainside right in front of the train crossing. Focus on getting across those tracks in one piece, especially after a whisky or two.

Well-kept grounds surround Yamazaki Distillery and will prove a delight to flower lovers. We park in a shaded spot in the spacious lot and rush to the reception near the entrance. My husband scores two free whisky glasses. How? It’s simple, he says, just click on the “free present” button on the Yamazaki Distillery (Japanese) homepage prior to visiting. That’s when our luck runs out. The noon tour is full. We had failed to reach the distillery’s reservations desk by phone that morning. R eservations and payment is required to join the 80 minute tour of the distillery; ask for the English audio guide . Our three year old son jumps and skips around, pulling my hand.

No tour, no chance to walk through the huge, dark cool storage facility where thousands of oak casks emit wonderful, pungent whisky fumes. As much as I love the tour, this time I can skip. My son cried though it last year - much more suitable to do without young children in tow. Sigh. Instead, we visit the small Whisky Museum, gift shop and tasting bar this time, in an open airy (not stinky for little stinkers) bright building. We enjoyed pulling out old whisky posters displayed in drawers near the gift shop, walking through the shop which sells such things as oak chopsticks and mechanical pencils, glass or metal flasks and shot glasses, chocolates, and of course whisky. We take the glass elevator downstairs and walk through the whisky library – glass shelves lined with golden and clear whisky from such places as Canada, Ireland, Scotland, the US; 95% are from Yamazaki. The oldest bottles I find are dated 1960. We take photos in front of the huge wooden vat and beautiful stainless still. Time for a sample at the bar. My husband orders a ¥100 flask of fresh whisky. The vapors bowl me over – 40% alcohol. He sips some genteelly, then leaves the rest in the glass. We drink up some complimentary spring water, then stroll back through the manicured gardens to our car.

The distillery tour, had we taken it, is barrier-free, and the last 20 minutes you sit down and sample chocolate, nuts, juice, water and for those of age, who are not driving or riding a bicycle, whisky. Weekday tours run from 10:00 ~ 15:00, every hour on the hour; during weekend and public holidays, tours are 10, 11 and 12 o’ clock only.
