About Us

From Japan’s Eternal Hometown…

Kiyokawa—which means clear river—is nestled in the mountainous region of the Japanese Alps. Kiyokawa is uniquely committed to preserving craft production, resulting in distinctive expressions of Japanese spirits with all their wonderful character and flavor.

  • Kiyokawa Gin stands out in the crowded market with its unique blend of botanicals from the Japanese Alps.

    The Spirits Business

  • The grain-to-glass whiskey concept has been around for a while in the U.S. (...) But in Japan, that hasn’t been the case—until now. A new distillery called Kiyokawa is producing whisky quite literally from the field to the bottle.

    Robb Report

  • It’s clear that Kiyokawa’s Iiyama Distillery is determined to innovate and help to move the Japanese whisky industry forward, and what they have already achieved at such a young age is truly commendable and owes a lot to their outside-the-box thinking, passion and desire.

Simple ingredients — (water, grain, and a comfortable lack of hurry) — reflect the rural life and setting of our barrelhouse.
