“Kyoto Whiskey” from Kyoto’s first whiskey distillery

2021.03.29

Kyoto Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. has started selling three types of “Kyoto Whiskey Nishijin Ori Red Belt”, “Kyoto Whiskey Nishijin Ori Black Belt” and “Kyoto Whiskey Nishijin Ori Purple Belt”.

The first whiskey distillery in Kyoto Prefecture, located in Kyotamba Town in central Kyoto Prefecture, has been established. It is located in the best area for whiskey making, where the temperature difference between day and night is large due to the high quality water that is indispensable for whiskey making and the wind blown from Mt. Chorogatake.

In the traditional culture and nature of the ancient city of Kyoto, we have introduced two pot stills of 5000 liters and one pot still of 1000 liters, for a total of three pot stills. We manufacture whiskey with an elegant taste and are looking to expand it from Kyoto to the world.

Nishijin-ori, which has developed in this area, is now famous not only in Kyoto but also in the world as a silk fabric that represents Japan. There is nothing that cannot be woven in Nishijin-ori.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
