Tankyu Distillery
Hokkaido’s forest, distilled into every sip
Discover a place where pure mountain waters meet the natural botanicals of Higashikawa. Immerse yourself in the world of artisanal craft gin, expressing the very breath of the local landscape in every single drop.
Located in the scenic town of Higashikawa, Tankyu Distillery produces exceptional spirits that capture the essence of the majestic mountains. The foundation of their gin is the crystal-clear subsoil water from Mt. Daisetsu, naturally filtered over many years. To this pure base, they carefully blend select botanicals, including locally grown sake rice, rice koji, and the fragrant Todomatsu (Sakhalin fir), a true symbol of Hokkaido’s vast forests.
The distillery’s interior, warm with the scent of natural wood, offers a serene space for tasting sessions surrounded by refreshing forest aromas. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to share the stories behind each spirit and explain the unique ingredients, allowing even first-time visitors to appreciate the depth of their craft. After your tasting, you can browse the on-site shop to purchase your favorite bottles. These spirits make for a perfect evening at home or a beautiful memento of your travels, a bottle that captures the scenery and scents of Higashikawa.
