Built within an historic canning factory in the heart of the Nozawa Onsen Village, the distillery is an exciting new tourist attraction where visitors are able to tour the manufacturing facilities, taste a variety of spirits, take Gin making master classes, picnic in the gardens, visit the gift store and garden bar throughout the four seasons. “The spirit of Nozawa Onsen is a very special feeling you learn to appreciate when living in this village. The warmth of the local people, mountain hiking and snow skiing, the festivals and turning of the seasons. We want to capture that feeling and be judged worthy of distilling this unique spirit.” David Elsworth, Company President.
