Where once ruled the Ryukyu Kingdom now stretches the Ryukyu Islands, a chain of isolated lands lingering in crystal blue seas. This historic Japanese region blends a delightful maritime culture with delectable regional cuisine grown from rich beds of tropical soil.

Among these islands is Okinawa, where time moves slow and community ties are strong. Happy, healthy and long-living locals share their shores with majestic Grey Whales who find winter sanctuary in the surrounding warm waters. Known for the indigenous spirit Awamori, customary distilling techniques have evolved to bring a taste of Ryukyu to the world of whisky.

Every Kujira Whisky is 100% made in Japan from long grain Indica Rice and Okinawa’s native black Koji. Every batch is a small one, never supplemented with foreign grain. Each expression is a truly divine illustration of the idyllic land from which they came.
