Broadly speaking, the style of Japanese whisky is more similar to that of <a href="/wiki/Scotch_whisky" title="Scotch whisky">Scotch whisky</a> than other major styles of whisky. </p><p>There are several companies producing whisky in Japan, but the two best-known and most widely available are <a href="/wiki/Suntory" title="Suntory">Suntory</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nikka_Whisky_Distilling" title="Nikka Whisky Distilling">Nikka</a>.

Pioneers like <a href="/wiki/Masataka_Taketsuru" title="Masataka Taketsuru">Masataka Taketsuru</a> carefully studied the process of making Scotch whisky, and went to great lengths in an attempt to recreate that process in Japan. The location of <a href="/wiki/Yoichi,_Hokkaido" title="Yoichi, Hokkaido">Yoichi</a> in <a href="/wiki/Hokkaid%C5%8D" class="mw-redirect" title="Hokkaidō">Hokkaidō</a> was chosen particularly for its terrain and climate, which were in many ways reminiscent of Scotland (although financial constraints resulted in the first distillery actually being built in the more convenient location of Yamazaki on the main island). </p><p>By 2024, products labeled as "Japanese whisky" will conform to new regulations. Japanese whisky must be fermented, distilled, aged and bottled in Japan, use some portion of malted grain in its mash, and use water sourced from Japan.<sup id="cite_ref-Mashed_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mashed-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>One facet of the style of Japanese whisky comes from the way in which blended whisky is produced, and the differing nature of the industry in Japan. Despite the recent rise of interest in single malt whiskies, the vast majority of whisky sold in the world is still blended. In Scotland, while a particular brand of blended whisky may be owned by a company that also owns one or more distilleries, it is common for blended whisky bottlers to trade single malt whiskies. The components of a blend may involve malt whisky from a number of distilleries, which may be owned by different companies. In Japan, however, the industry is <a href="/wiki/Vertically_integrated" class="mw-redirect" title="Vertically integrated">vertically integrated</a>, meaning whisky companies own both the distilleries and the brands of blended whiskies, and do not trade with their competitors. So a blended whisky in Japan will generally only contain malt whisky from the distilleries owned by that same company. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Japanese_whisky&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Two of the most influential figures in the history of Japanese whisky are Shinjiro Torii and <a href="/wiki/Masataka_Taketsuru" title="Masataka Taketsuru">Masataka Taketsuru</a>. Torii was a pharmaceutical wholesaler and the founder of Kotobukiya (later to become <a href="/wiki/Suntory" title="Suntory">Suntory</a>). He started importing western liquor and he later created a brand called "<a href="/wiki/Akadama_(wine)" title="Akadama (wine)">Akadama</a> <a href="/wiki/Port_Wine" class="mw-redirect" title="Port Wine">Port Wine</a>", based on a Portuguese wine which made him a successful merchant. However, he was not satisfied with this success and so he embarked on a new venture which was to become his life's work: making Japanese whisky for Japanese people. Despite the strong opposition from the company's executives, Torii decided to build the first Japanese whisky distillery in Yamazaki, a suburb of Kyoto, an area so famous for its excellent water that the legendary tea master <a href="/wiki/Sen_no_Riky%C5%AB" title="Sen no Rikyū">Sen no Rikyū</a> built his tearoom there. </p><p>Torii hired Taketsuru as a distillery executive. Taketsuru had studied the art of distilling in Scotland, and brought this knowledge back to Japan in the early 1920s. While working for Kotobukiya he played a key part in helping Torii establish the Yamazaki Distillery. In 1934 he left Kotobukiya to form his own company—Dainipponkaju—which would later change its name to <a href="/wiki/Nikka_Whisky_Distilling" title="Nikka Whisky Distilling">Nikka</a>. In this new venture he established the <a href="/wiki/Yoichi_distillery" title="Yoichi distillery">Yoichi distillery</a> in Hokkaidō. </p><p>The first westerners to taste Japanese whisky were soldiers of the <a href="/wiki/American_Expeditionary_Force_Siberia" class="mw-redirect" title="American Expeditionary Force Siberia">American Expeditionary Force Siberia</a> who took shore leave in <a href="/wiki/Hakodate" title="Hakodate">Hakodate</a> in September 1918. A brand called Queen George, described by one American as a "Scotch whisky made in Japan", was widely available. Exactly what it was is unknown, but it was quite potent and probably quite unlike Scotch whisky.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first whisky made in Japan was the Suntory Shirofuda, released in 1929.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>From the mid-1950s, the popularity of whisky began to increase, and the three major brands of Suntory, Daikoku Budoshu (later <a href="/wiki/Mercian_Corporation" title="Mercian Corporation">Mercian Corporation</a>), and Nikka fought for the top position, leading to what was called the "whisky wars". From the 1960s, unique Japanese customs concerning whisky began to appear. Drinking whisky with Japanese food became popular, and the "<a href="/wiki/Bottle_keep" title="Bottle keep">Bottle keep</a>" system took root in bars and <i><a href="/wiki/Izakaya" title="Izakaya">izakaya</a></i>, and drinking <i><a href="/wiki/Mizuwari" title="Mizuwari">mizuwari</a></i> (<a href="https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B0%B4%E5%89%B2%E3%82%8A" class="extiw" title="ja:水割り">ja:水割り</a>), a whisky diluted with 2 to 2.5 times the amount of water, became popular among the masses.<sup id="cite_ref-jwichis_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jwichis-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1971, various restrictions on the whisky trade were lifted, allowing Japanese importers to import foreign whisky without any quantity or value limits. 1973 saw <a href="/wiki/Kirin_Company" title="Kirin Company">Kirin Company</a> enter the whisky business. In 1980, Suntory shipped 12.4 million cases of "Old" and achieved the world's highest annual sales volume for a single brand. After reaching its peak in 1983, whisky consumption in Japan continued to decline, falling well behind <a href="/wiki/Beer_in_Japan" title="Beer in Japan">Japanese beer</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dch%C5%AB" title="Shōchū">shōchū</a></i>, and <a href="/wiki/Sake" title="Sake">sake</a>, and in 2008, only 20% of the 1983 level was consumed.<sup id="cite_ref-jwichis_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jwichis-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, whisky consumption began to increase again around 2008 due to the <a href="/wiki/Highball" title="Highball">highball</a> craze, and the popularity of whisky increased dramatically in 2014 when the life of Nikka founder Masataka Taketsuru was portrayed in the <a href="/wiki/NHK" title="NHK">NHK</a> drama <i><a href="/wiki/Massan" title="Massan">Massan</a></i> (マッサン).

There are two reasons why the supply shortage of whisky has not been easily resolved. The first is that from 1983 to 2008, whisky consumption in Japan continued to decline and companies continued to reduce production, resulting in low inventories. The second reason is that whisky must be stored in casks for a long period of time in order to be finished, so even if companies increased the amount of whisky distilled, they would not be able to ship it immediately.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2008, Ichiro Akuto (<a href="https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%82%A5%E5%9C%9F%E4%BC%8A%E7%9F%A5%E9%83%8E" class="extiw" title="ja:肥土伊知郎">ja:肥土伊知郎</a>) started operations at the <a href="/wiki/Chichibu_distillery" title="Chichibu distillery">Chichibu distillery</a>.
