Named after the oldest stone lighthouse in Japan

The distillery is named after the Akashi- Kaikyō bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world and stands along the coast of the Seto inland sea - expansion of the Akashi Sake Brewery

Refreshed by the maritime winds of the straits, it benefits from a specific climate of dry, temperate winters, and hot, humid summers that offer excellent properties for the ageing of spirits.
