The Hatozaki Japanese Whisky, the oldest stone lighthouse in Japan, has been a guide for sailors navigating the turbulent waters before the port of Akashi since 1620. It is a symbol of dependability, openness to the wider world and trade which enables the exchange of goods and ideas. We chose this lighthouse to represent the perfect icon for our distillery.
