Miyagikyo Distillery and the Beauty of Hydrangeas

#Hydrangea
Located in a lush valley in western Sendai, the Miyagikyo Distillery was founded in 1969 by Masataka Taketsuru. Located at the confluence of the Hirose and Shinkawa Rivers, the site offers clear water and moist air, ideal for whisky maturation. The distillery preserves the pristine terrain and forest, and its red brick buildings complement the surrounding natural environment beautifully.

Every early summer, the park's trails and surroundings are ablaze with softly colored hydrangeas. The blue, purple, and pink blossoms stand out against the deep green backdrop, adding a romantic touch to this artisanal whisky mecca. Whether you enjoy a guided tour, tasting Miyagikyo's soft, fruity single malt, or simply strolling amidst the blossoms, you can experience the fusion of distillery craftsmanship and the beauty of the four seasons.
