【4K】初心者向けウイスキー動画！ニッカウイスキー余市蒸留所の見学ツアーに参加してきた！！！【北海道編９】
Illustration: Mr. IKAYAKI First, we will take a shuttle to Otaru. Yes, we are going to Yoichi, where our next destination is , but we are going to take the train on the right bound for Kutchan , and it is now 11 o’clock. There is no train that is suitable for about 20 minutes , so this time I will not take the train, but this express bus (?) Although it is not a high speed, I will use the local bus to get to Yoichi. Goodbye, Otaru Station Yes, I took a bus and arrived at this Nikka Whiskey distillery.I love whisky, so I wanted to come once.I’m looking forward to it.Let’s go, it’s an important cultural property . I’m here, so let’s go straight ahead. There’s a barrel. It’s a place where there’s a lot of excitement. If you’re talking about whisky, it’s a barrel. Do you want to take a commemorative photo with this sign ? It ‘s the Smile and Clumsy Championship . Yes, it’s time for the tour. I have a little bit of time to spare, so let’s kill some time at the visitor center.Here is the overall map, and this is where I am right now.The tour starts from here , so if you go here, you will see a restaurant. By the way , you can take photos, but apparently you can’t take videos , right? I’m on tour, so it’s okay to watch videos at the moment . Plus, this is my verbal introduction.Yes , please take a look.This is the god who brought whiskey to Japan , Taketsuru.Basically , malt (barley malt) is used as the main raw material. First, the malt is ground, and then water is added to it to saccharify it into sweet sugar.After that, yeast is added and combined. After that, we add distillation heat and accumulate steam.This means that the alcohol becomes stronger , so we make barrels and age it there for many years. , it takes decades to make whiskey . This is a fuel called peat. By burning this, the whiskey can have a smoky flavor. Before the tour begins, we will first show you a slide show. First of all, we will receive an explanation about the time of the company’s founding.It seems that Yoichi Town, which is cool all year round and has sea breezes , was perfect for making whisky.What is whiskey in the first place? It is saccharified, fermented and distilled and then aged in wooden barrels.The Yoichi Distillery seems to be producing this barley malt whisky , so let’s talk about the production process next . The process of germinating the barley is called malting , and it plays a very important role in the subsequent process.The next step is to dry the malt.By cooking this peat, it is dried while imparting aroma . At this point , whether you use peat or another fuel will greatly affect the taste of the whiskey later on.I was asked to try smelling the flavored malt.It was very smoky. There were some customers who thought they were drinking whiskey just by listening to this cat.The next step is saccharification.By adding water and barley to the mash tun, the saccharification soda transforms into wort, sweet sugar, and nectar. At this point, it seems that the barley must be germinated before it can be made into this wort state.The next step is the fermentation process.By adding yeast, the wort is made to thicken over four days . This is a liquid that contains alcohol.After this, the process is called distillation.By heating the vapor, the vapor is turned back into a liquid.By doing this, the alcohol content increases.Yes , this Afterwards, the tour began and we immediately arrived at this drying tower.This is a facility where malt is dried by smoking it with peat.Although it is not in use now, it is designated as an important national cultural property in Yoichi. This is the symbol of the distillery. Yes, this is the crushing and saccharification building. I was able to see the inside , so I will take a photo. Yes, this is the saccharification soda . This is how it is saccharified.There was a guide like this inside, explaining about saccharification and the steps before and after.By the way , the pipes were underground, and this was to prevent freezing.It ‘s cold in Hokkaido, so precautions are necessary. This is the old office, which is an important cultural property of the country.It takes many years to make whiskey.When the distillery is new, we do business, so we have to sell something to make ends meet . Inside, it seems that juice was made and sold here.The name Nikka is also a remnant of the Dainippon Kaju Co., Ltd. at the time.This is the distillation building.As I introduced earlier, this is the building where the process of distillation is carried out. We put the alcohol-containing mash into a device called a pot still , and by taking advantage of the fact that the boiling point of alcohol is 78.37 degrees and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees, we raise the alcohol content by constantly maintaining the temperature between that range. At the Yoichi Distillery, we are particular about direct coal-fired distillation , which apparently makes the whiskey mellower.On this day, we were able to see how the coal is added, so we would like to share it with the viewers. Also, the small pot still here was the one that was used when the company opened, and it is no longer in use and is displayed as a symbol.The distilled whiskey can be found here . The whiskey is filled into barrels in the mixing building.This is a building called Rita House.It is not that Masataka Taketsuru’s wife, Rita, lived there, but that it was used as a whiskey laboratory.Nowadays The old Taketsuru residence has become warped in places, making it impossible for people to enter.This is the former Taketsuru residence in the suburbs of Yoichi Town, where Mr. Taketsuru lived. It seems that it was relocated.This is a storage room.The barrels of whiskey will be stored here for many years.The contents of the barrels displayed for viewing are not shown , but the actual storage room looks like this. This exhibit shows the age, color, and amount of whiskey aged.The longer it is stored, the more color the liquid acquires.From the right: Freshly packed, 5 years, 10 years. It is said to be in a matured state.Also , as it ages, components other than the color evaporate and the amount decreases.This situation is called the angel’s share , and it is stored for many years. That’s why we have many storage areas, first, second, and third.Now , after the tour, it’s time for the long-awaited tasting.We will sample at this free tasting corner.During the tour, a pretty lady will guide you around. Thank you very much for the information. Yes , it is a free tasting of what I have left. By showing this tasting ticket , I heard that I can get both Apple Wine Super Nikka and Single Malt Yoichi. I am looking forward to it. Well, let’s taste it. First of all , let’s go to Single Malt Yoichi. It smells nice . Yes, it has a strong impression of peat, but it ‘s sweet and citrusy. In the mouth, it’s quite citrusy and quite sugary. I have the impression that it’s delicious.The composition of the taste is simple, or rather, it’s simple.It’s delicious.Next is Super Nikka.This is blended whisky.It has a very soft aroma.Grain (other grain) whisky. The Single Malt Yoichi had quite a unique aroma a while ago, but now it ‘s quite easy to drink . It has a light sweetness.It ‘s delicious.It ‘s a bit alcoholic, but I don’t think it’ll bother me that much.Next up is apple wine.It ‘s not whiskey, but it has a lot of ties to the Yoichi Distillery. That’s it.Itadakimakura tastes like a liqueur.It’s a bit of an apple.Well , it’s definitely an apple, but it has a very cinnamon-like spicy scent.Well , it’s basically a syrup.It ‘s basically a syrup.It ‘s apple syrup. It feels like it’s a bit bitter or bitter.In addition to the delicious and delicious alcohol, you can also get a split wood here.You can drink all you can drink this split wood and soft drinks, but it’s just alcohol. I mean, it’s just the one I was given from the beginning , but I can’t refill it.I also have ice, so I thought this apple wine would taste better diluted , so I diluted it with carbonated water. Well, I’m going to drink this.It ‘s delicious.The sweet highball is delicious.Yes , there are snacks here for a fee.If you want snacks, you can buy them from here.By the way, take a look at this beautiful scenery. You can taste it while looking at it.Here , there is an exhibition of past whiskeys.It ‘s spectacular.Here , there is an exhibition of Japanese whiskeys that were sold out within the year.This is really valuable. No, that’s great. We met . I can’t drink, but by the way , I haven’t eaten yet, so let’s go to the restaurant. It’s Rita’s Kitchen. Let’s go and have a little drink. Let’s have a meal while we ‘re at it.The menu looks something like this.I’d like to have some food.Here ‘s the drink menu, which is cheap.Yoichi 600 yen is quite an extraordinary deal.It’s double the price, so it’s about average. I like highballs right away.This is Taketsuru Pure Malt’s highball.It ‘s a bargain at 650 yen.It has a sweet honey-like scent that spreads deep into your mouth and nose, making it delicious. After all, it’s because of the aroma.Whiskey is delicious.Shepherd ‘s Pie & Homemade Corned Beef SandwichFirst up, here’s the Shepherd’s Pie.It’s ground beef topped with mashed potatoes.Let ‘s eat it.The gravy comes out really well.The flavor is amazing.It’s delicious. So , this is a homemade corned beef sandwich. It ‘s very filling. The bread is delicious , the seasoning is delicious, and the meat is delicious. It’s homemade corned beef that’s been stewed soft. It’s served with soft serve ice cream and whisky…! I could n’t help but order the soft serve ice cream with Whiskey Taketsuru Pure Malt . Wow… it’s so exciting! It’s delicious. The flavor of the whiskey and the deliciousness of the soft serve ice cream match perfectly.In the first place, the soft serve ice cream… It’s really delicious. Thank you for the delicious meal . The food at the restaurant was delicious. After that, let’s go shopping . It’s a mini bottle full of whiskey . It’s cute. I bought some limited edition items, so we’ll have a drink at Omiya DE later. I guess I’ll make an announcement about it , then let’s drink some limited edition whiskey at the Nikka Museum and then head home today.Let’s go to this museum.I’m looking forward to it! Thats nice! Wow that’s amazing There are a lot of beautiful bottles.This is how I think about tasting.This is a replica of a grain whiskey factory.Malt whiskey was made in a pot still, but grain whiskey is made in a continuous still . It’s made in a glass, so the shape is different.It’s shaped like this.It ‘s a cup like Glencairn , but it’s very big.If you tasted it in a glass like this , it would fall over.This is Nikka from the Barrel . Whiskey that is called God in the club I also think this is really delicious Yes, this is the paid tasting corner You can drink precious unprocessed whiskey at a cheap price This single is recommended Cask Yoichi 10 years old and Tsuru.This is really cheap compared to the rarity of the original whiskey.It was a bit chewy, but I asked them not to worry about it , so I sampled two whiskeys. , This is Tsuru. It ‘s truly a fantastic whisky. It’s a miracle that I can drink this. It has a slight peat aroma, and quite a bit of berry-like raspberry or tropical fruit aroma. It’s amazing. This is a sweet, slightly bitter dark chocolate. Orange tropical fruit It’s quite complex It’s delicious The next one is Yoichi’s 10 year old.It seems to have been taken straight from the barrel and has a temperature of over 50 degrees.Well , in short, it’s cask strength.Itadaki is cask strength, so it has a pretty strong aroma . I don’t think it’s as peaty as I thought it would be.It ‘s quite sugary and has a citrus scent.It ‘s quite strong.It’s got a pretty bitter roasted taste.But this one has a particularly strong citrus flavor.Compared to the others , it’s more like a mandarin orange or something like that , and it’s more bitter. The chocolate looks like it’s roasted , and I guess it’s sugar, but it’s delicious.The Nikka Whiskey Distillery was a really nice place.I feel like I learned more about the whiskey manufacturing process and the history of whisky.

ボクもこの前山崎蒸留所行ってきたけど似たような雰囲気だったのだ！
食事スペースは余市の方が上っぽいのだ！
