BIWAKO DISTILLERY'S

The Story of 琵琶湖蒸溜所

Biwako Distillery, established in 2020 as Shiga's second whisky distillery, is run by the sake brewer Kawashima Shuzo. It brews with Harie no Shozu — a Heisei hundred-famous-waters spring — and finishes its pure malt in an unusual sweep of casks, from mizunara to chestnut and sakura. Distillery tours are not offered.
