About MiyagikyoJapan
Miyagikyo distillery is at Nikka 1, Aoba-ku, Sendai, in Miyagi Prefecture, near the border with Yamagata Prefecture. Masataka Taketsuru chose the site after three years of searching, and it was completed in 1969 as Nikka Whisky's second distillery after Yoichi, first known as Sendai distillery. Nikka is owned by Asahi Group Holdings. Its pot stills are heated by steam at low temperature for a soft, gentle distillation, and two Coffey stills were moved there from Nikka's Nishinomiya plant in 1999. In September 2025 Asahi announced Single Malt Miyagikyo 10 Year, the first age-stated Miyagikyo single malt since 2015, as a limited release of 9,000 bottles for Japan and 9,000 for overseas.
