Japanese whisky that is still affordable
Anyone who wants to try Japanese whisky is often startled by the price: Hakushu and Yamazaki start at well over a hundred euros. Hatozaki starts at thirty-eight, and the Pure Malt and Triple Cask Reserve are both at 46 percent.
The distillery is in Hyogo Prefecture, on the Akashi Strait. If you are not sure which one you need, give us a quick call. That is what we are here for.

Hatozaki comes from Hyogo prefecture, the area near Kobe best known for sake. The Nada region has been the centre of Japanese sake production for centuries. The name refers to the Hatozaki lighthouse, the oldest surviving stone lighthouse in the country.
The range consists of two types: a blend, in which malt is combined with grain whisky, and the Pure Malt, which contains only malt but from more than one distillery. In Scotland that would be called a blended malt.
Japanese whisky has become considerably more expensive in recent years. That makes a bottle from Japan at thirty-eight euros special.
What is pure malt?
A Japanese term for whisky that consists entirely of malt but does not come from one distillery. In Scotland that is called a blended malt. The difference with an ordinary blend is that there is no grain whisky in it, and that makes the taste fuller.
