Join us for an exclusive tasting experience as our koji-fermented whiskey introduces festival guests to the rich umami character and delicate sweetness made possible by the patented Takamine Process.


Crafted with traditional koji fermentation, double pot distilling, and aging in American white oak, our Takamine 8-year Japanese whiskey stands apart with a complex flavor and smooth finish that reflects our deep commitment to authentic craftsmanship.


Whether you're a seasoned whiskey lover or exploring Japanese-style spirits for the first time, this is your chance to savor something truly exceptional.

Stephen Lyman, Ambassador and Educator of Honkaku Spirits and official Honkaku Shochu Ambassador to Japan, makes his debut at this year’s Charleston Wine + Food Festival to showcase the producers’ koji-based spirits.
