Built on Land Nurtured by Sea, Wind, and The Setting Sun.
Fukiage Beach, located at the doorstep of KANOSUKE DISTILLERY, is home to one of Japan’s three largest sand dunes. Its pristine white sands stretch 50 kilometers between Ichikikushikino, Hioki, and Minamisatsuma, making it the longest beach in Japan. Beneath those sands lies an abundant source of pristine subterranean water, purified by the minerals of the Shirasu Plateau, which further enhances the quality of Kanosuke’s whiskies.
Traditional yet modern. Full-flavored yet mellow. Welcome to the new wave of Japanese Craft Whisky, brought to you by KANOSUKE.
