Kensei Whisky – Farm-to-bottle from Nagano

Awards & Reputation

Kiyokawa, a pioneer of the farm-to-bottle concept in Japan, has been praised by Robb Report and The Spirits Business for its concept, quality and innovative spirit.

Design & Brand Identity

The simple, elegant bottle with its Japanese minimalist design reflects the philosophy of the ‘Sword Saints’ (Kensei) – masterful, clear and deeply rooted in culture.

Manufacturing & Craftsmanship

Kensei Whisky is a carefully crafted blend, with individual whiskies matured in small oak casks. The blend is characterised by slow distillation, non-chill filtration and small batches.

Sustainability & Certifications

The ‘Farm to Bottle’ concept means local value creation, short supply chains and maximum transparency – an active contribution to environmental protection and regional sustainability.

Region & Origin

The distillery is situated at the foot of the Japanese Alps in Nagano, where cold winters and warm summers provide ideal conditions for maturation. Local grains and pure mountain spring water define the distinctive character of Kensei.

Variety & Highlights

Kensei Blended: A velvety-smooth texture, with notes of vanilla, smoke, honey, fruit and spices, and a floral, lingering finish.
Kensei Yu (Single Grain, 42%): Amber in colour, with aromas of vanilla and toffee, hints of honey, tropical fruits and a delicate chocolate-orange finish.
