Our Unique Second Maturation


Yoshino Sugi, most commonly known in English as the "Japanese Cedar" is indigenous to Japan.
For centuries it is being used to make temples. Japanese Cedar is also known for its pleasant fragrance and soft texture
that help calm the mind and the body.

Our City


Our story takes place in a truly ancient land, one of spiritual and carnal harmony, in the temples of Nara in Japan.

The ancient capital of Japan, Nara holds many temples from the 8th century that imperturbably give the holy capital its power.

Our Shrine


Ōmiwa Shrine in Nara is one of Japan's oldest extant Shinto shrines. It is a tutelary shrine of the Japanese alcohol producers. Most well-known alcohol producer families are in Nara and these families have a centuries-old tradition of producing alcohol for Ōmiwa.

The alcohol produced by these families is served as blessings at Shinto temples.

Our Name


The Ōmiwa Shrine lies at the foot of Mount Miwa, a holy mountain guarded by the shrine.

Mount Miwa has many legends, and has been worshiped from ancient times as a sacred Mountain of the God.

Inspired by beautiful breezes coming from the Mountain of the God, we named our whisky KAMIKI whereby "KAMI" means "GOD" and "IKI" means "BREATH".

KAMIKI is the "THE FIRST WHISKY BRAND IN THE WORLD WITH JAPANESE CEDAR CASK FINISH"

Yoshino Sugi is considered to be the best wood for making local drink casks because of its scented refreshing flavor and wooden aroma. Our blend is rested for a second time in Yoshino Sugi casks to capture a perfectly smooth taste, a scent of sandalwood on the nose and a zest of green tea in the finish. This second maturation makes our whisky unique.
