For over a hundred years, our distillation technique has been passed down through the generations and stories of our long and illustrious history have been shared throughout the world. While continuing to respect the traditional techniques cultivated over the years.

SAKURAO DISTILLERY was founded in 2018, directly facing the famous Miyajima World Heritage Site in the heart of Hatsukaichi City in Hiroshima. It is here that we set out to create our own single malt whisky. The unique characteristics of our region enhance the flavor of whisky. Hiroshima is blessed with a natural environment comprising of seaside and mountainous areas, making it an excellent place to produce whisky that perfectly embodies the unique characteristics of the region.
