Do you know which one is not a Ichiro’s bottle?!
Toa shuzo was founded by Ichiro’s grandfather and inherited to his father. In 2004, it was closed and most of the casks were transferred to Sasanokawa Shuzo and made into Card series.
The black bottle is not from Sasanokawa casks but from ex-Hanyu distillery’s. They are from different company but from same place, Chichibu, and so to say cousin’s relation. It is good to know the history behind the bottles.
