Tenjaku distillery

Created in Fuefuki, in Yamanashi prefecture, Tenjaku was born in the heart of fertile land surrounded by imposing peaks, with the Chichiby mountains rising to the north and the Misaka range to the south. Just 250 metres below the town lies the excellent natural water from the Misaka range. Filtered through the porous volcanic rock, it is perfect for dilution when creating whiskies. Kenju Watanabe has been a renowned name in the world of Japanese whisky and winemaking since the 1990s and throughout the 2000s. Taking full advantage of his past experience in creating whiskies and many award-winning wines, he is currently the master blender for Tenjaku.
