Yamazaki is not only the soul place of Suntory Whiskey, but the birthplace of Japanese whiskey. Inspired by traditional Scotch whiskey, Torii is said to have selected the land of Yamazaki at the foot of Mount Tennozan for its high-quality water source and ideal natural environment for whiskey making.
Nestled proudly on the outskirts of Kyoto, the area around the Yamazaki distillery has long been known as "Minaseno" famous for its exquisite natural water, even mentioned in the Man'yoshu, the ancient anthology of Japanese poetry. Home to Sen no Rikyu, Master of "The Way of Tea" and his famous "Rikyu no Mizu" (imperial villa water), the waters of Yamazaki were selected by the Ministry of Environment as one of the hundred best natural mineral waters in Japan.
Yamazaki is located in a dense valley between Mount Tennozan and Mount Otokoyama, where the Katsura, Uji and Kizu rivers converge. Blessed with Japan's rich four seasons, this region's diversity of temperature and humidity creates ideal conditions for whiskey making.
