Master of Whiskey" Kazunori Shizuya is teaming up with businessman Mr.Takafumi Horie to launch a whiskey distillery! Such news came last fall.

They are establishing "Taiki Cosmic Glen Distillery.

Their goal is to produce 100% made-in-Japan whiskey using only local ingredients from Taiki Town, Hokkaido.

While most Japanese whiskey is made with malt and other ingredients from overseas, Taiki Cosmic Glen Distillery plans to procure all of its ingredients from within the town itself.

Taiki is a small town with a population of about 5,000 located in the southern Tokachi Plain.Many people may know it as "the town of rockets.

The "Hokkaido Spaceport" in the town is Asia's first spaceport open to the private sector, where JAXA, private companies, and universities are conducting experiments and development in aerospace.
