Nikka identifies Yoichi as its first distillery, founded in 1934 in Hokkaido. The official distillery site documents its direct coal-fired pot-still distillation and current visitor options.

Visiting

The official source currently lists visitor access.

Nikka currently separates casual visitor access from the production-area guided tour. Guided tours require advance reservation; the museum, tasting bar, shop and restaurant have separate casual-access rules and hours on the official page.
