大雪旭岳源水
Daisetsu Asahidake Spring Water
Higashikawa, set at the base of the Daisetsuzan mountains, is Hokkaido's untouched sanctuary. Renowned for its pristine, abundant underground water—unique in Hokkaido for having zero upper waterway coverage and honored among Japan's 100 best waters of the Heisei era—the town is a canvas for nature's artistry, changing with each season. It's a harmonious for purity seekers, and a new haven of our spirits.
These pristine waters form the foundation of Tankyu Distillery's spirits. Leveraging this pure, subterranean gift, we meticulously crat spirits that capture the unspoiled beauty and freshness of their source.

Public Built
Private Operate
Nestled on a 10,000 sqft land in the heart of Higashikawa, beneath the majestic Mount Daisetsu, Tankyu Distillery is a hamonious blend of Hong Kong's vibrant legacy and Japan's renowned craftmanship.

This model fosters a close relationship with the local community and ensures adhherence to high environmental and production standards. Such a partnerhsip reflects a commitment to both the local environment and to delivering permium-quality spirits to consumers.
