Yuza

Established in 2018, Yuza is the first modern distillery to be founded in the Yamagata prefecture. Yuza uses primarily non-peated malt, however they have laid down several heavily peated batches. The distillery's location near the Sea of Japan provides an abundance of soft water from snowmelt and underground springs and the area experiences a massive 40°C average temperature difference over the year. The new make has been described as "full-bodied but chiselled with beautiful barley sugar, tempura batter and under-ripe fruit notes" by Stefan van Eycken of Whisky Magazine.
