The Hatozaki Lighthouse is the oldest stone lighthouse in , and has been a guide for sailors navigating the turbulent waters in the port of Akashi since 1620. It is a symbol of dependability, openness to the wider world, and trade– which enables the exchange of goods and ideas. This lighthouse serves as the perfect icon to represent Kaikyo Distillery’s blended whiskies– a symbol of the rich culture of Akashi City and all it can offer the world.

Although the Yonezawa Family has been since 1856, they did not start distilling until 1917. In the build- up to their celebration of 100 years of spirit production, the company decided to replace their old stills with new copper twin pot-stills made by the famous Scottish company Forsyth’s. The new facility has been designed to produce Japanese as well as other spirits and has been named The Kaikyo Distillery after the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge that lies in front of the distillery. Proud of their heritage and provenance, the company has also shared other historical aspects of their home city, Akashi in the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan, in the imagery and branding of their new spirits.
