Nikka Whisky’s Yoichi Distillery (Yoichi Town) is a big factory and museum. Visitors can learn about whisky through observing facilities and devices which are in use now. There is also a museum of whisky. It shows not only their products, ingredients, processes of producing, and whisky brands, but also the history of whisky, other whisky brands in the world and cultural things related to whisky. Masataka Taketsuru and his wife, Rita, who was born in Scotland, came to Yoichi and started an apple juice factory in 1934, and started whisky distilling from 1936. Their old house is also exhibited here.
