Venture Whisky (Chichibu)
The World's Most Sought-After Micro-Distillery
After rescuing his family's Hanyu distillery stocks from destruction, Akuto built Chichibu from scratch in Saitama Prefecture. The tiny production scale allows for constant experimentation — Mizunara oak, wine casks, and IPA-aged whiskies all emerge from this remarkable facility.
