About Chugoku Jozo (Togouchi).

Hiroshima ·Est. 1918

Chugoku Jozo, founded in 1918 in Hatsukaichi on the Hiroshima coast, produces the Togouchi range of blended Japanese whisky. The whiskies are blended in Japan from imported malt and grain stocks and matured in a disused railway tunnel near the former town of Togouchi, where temperature and humidity sit close to ideal whisky-aging conditions year-round.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Chugoku Jozo

Hiroshima

"Chugoku Jozo started in 1918 supplying distilled alcohol to the Hiroshima sake industry and moved into producing its own sake in 1963. The company now operates as Sakurao Brewery & Distillery (renamed in March 2021) and runs two parallel whisky lines: Togouchi, a blended programme drawing on imported Scotch and Canadian whisky stocks; and Sakurao, an in-house single malt programme launched in 2018.
