Upon returning to Japan in the early 1920s, Taketsuru embarked on a mission to bring the essence of Scotch whisky back to his homeland. In 1934, he established the Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido, a region renowned for its pristine water sources and conducive climate for whisky production. Here, Taketsuru meticulously combined his acquired expertise with traditional Japanese craftsmanship, creating a unique fusion that would define Nikka's signature style.
Despite facing numerous challenges, including economic downturns and the tumult of World War II, Nikka persevered under Taketsuru's unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.
