surrounding fertile plains. This is significant
because the spring water used to distill their
Sake, Shōchū, and Whisky and bring it to
proof has filtered through volcanic stone for
eons — resulting in significant purity and a
unique, soft mineral composition.

highly regarded — including ten Malts
under the Kurayoshi brand and five grain
Whiskies under their Tottori nameplate. All
of them very popular with the discriminating
dram-lovers across the Land of the Rising
Sun.
