Our distillery,  Kamiki Shuzou Co. Is situated in the serene Soni Village of Nara, a region rich with the early history of Japan.

Soni Village: A Foundation of Japan’s Heritage
Soni Village, upon which our distillery is proudly established, is renowned as a starting point of the Japanese nation. Amid Nara’s historic landmarks, we find our place, continuing time-honored traditions.

The Essence of Water, The Essence of Taste
We are honored to draw the crystal-clear waters from the Soni highlands, celebrated as some of the finest in Japan, and an indispensable element in our craft

Craftsmanship in the Japanese Highlands
Elevated in the landscape likened to Yoshino Mountains, our distillery is a sanctuary for creating whisky, nurtured by the peace of its surroundings.

Nara’s Original Whisky Distillery
As the first whisky distillery in Nara, we are proud to initiate a tradition of whisky-making in a land woven with significant history.

Last Century Building, Thoughtfully Restored
The residence of our distillery, inherited from the Meiji era, has been thoughtfully restored, harmonizing history with modernity. It stands as a living homage to Japan’s resilient cultural heritage and as the birthplace of Kamiki Whisky.
