    Koriyama City in Fukushima is a vibrant urban center where old and new-world Japan is on show. The city has also made a mark in the world of spirits, with Fukushima Whisky gaining acclaim for its quality and craftsmanship (which is where our Koriyama journey begins).
    Shizuka begins the day at Asaka Distillery, a Japanese whisky distillery over 250 years old. Asaka was originally in the sake production industry; however, switched to whisky after a post-war rice shortage. Shizuka tours the distillery, learns about the production process, and then creates her own custom whisky blend. Next, she heads to Otomo Bakery, known and loved for its original cream bread. Following this, she heads to The Kitchen Platform for some fusion food, followed by a visit to Takeya onigiri stand. Post-onigiri, Shizuka heads to an elegant cocktail bar for a drink to round off her Koriyama adventure.

    • @Keshu

      The Japanese spelling is actually without the "e". It depends on the country of origin, and since Japanese whisky has its roots in Scotland where they write it without the "e", it follows the same concept.

    I think your descriptions on this video about the processes and the science in the whisky and glass segments are a bit wanting and not on par with some of your other videos. For instance, in the whisky segment, malted barley (not wheat--it said so on the bag, I believe) has an acrospire which contains the enzymes to break starch down into fermentable sugars (first you make beer, then you make whisky from the beer). The glass segment was quite disjointed as we could not determine what kind of glass you started with, what you applied to it, and how the final design was obtained. Normally, glass etching is achieved with fluorine compounds, which are quite toxic and difficult to contain (they need to be stored in special wax-based containers), so I doubt that is the process you used.

    Compared to alot of irish and scotch whiskey's, japanese whiskey's available in the u.s doesn't fare to well. Not to say there are not a few respectable japanese whiskey's. Nikka Days and Togouchi Blended Whiskey are a couple of top performers. as you could taste, the longer a whiskey is aged, the smoother and more complex/tasty it becomes. And expensive lol.
