笹之川修三

笹川酒造株式會社（Sasanokawa Shuzo Co.）植根於日本東北地區的清酒釀造傳統，二戰後進軍威士忌生產，並於1946年獲得威士忌生產許可。他們的「櫻桃威士忌」（Cherry Whisky）是其首批推出的威士忌之一，儘管其名稱與櫻桃並無直接關聯，而是向其前公司名稱「山櫻酒造」（Yamazakura Shuzo）致敬，象徵著櫻花。然而，他們的蒸餾之路也面臨著與日本威士忌市場波動同步的挑戰，期間需要進口威士忌來補充產量。

2010年左右，笹川酒造推出了山櫻和「963」品牌的新產品。值得一提的是，當東亞酒造的新主人丟棄羽生酒桶時，他們為一郎提供了存放羽生酒桶的空間。標誌性的羽生卡系列於2005年首次裝瓶，就在笹川酒造的工廠區內。

2015年，笹川酒造創立了朝霞酒廠，並於2016年在同一地點開始蒸餾，致力於釀造日本單一麥芽威士忌。酒廠位於福島，得益於當地純淨的雪水（源自融化的雪水），以及日本東北部獨特的氣候條件，使其成為威士忌生產的理想場所。

With a beautiful light golden hue and an exquisite balance of fresh tropical fruits, citrus, green apples and floral sweetness, honey wax, there is a certain earthiness which gives way to a hint of saltiness and spices at the back.
