Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka, journeyed to Scotland in 1918 to master the art of whisky production. Trained in Organic Chemistry, he gained experience at several Scottish distilleries. He briefly lived in Campbeltown with his Scottish wife, working at Hazelburn distillery. Upon returning to Japan, he assisted Shinjiro Torii in founding Yamazaki. In 1934, Taketsuru established his first distillery, Yoichi, on Hokkaido.
