The location and particularities of the distillery
JORYU DISTILLERY is located in Izumisano, Osaka. Taking full advantage of its convenient location near Kansai Airport, we incorporate international materials and skills to create products that can only be made here.
As an urban distillery, although small-scale, it uses its own unique production methods to bring out the best in local ingredients.
