・Di Tripper Distillery (English name: Di Tripper Distillery) is a place name written in English in the expedition record of Admiral M. Perry when he visited Hakodate (now Hakodate) on a black ship in 1854. It was named after the “Di” in Hakodate, expressing the desire to connect visitors to Hakodate, travelers, the connection between the West and the East, and the past, present, and future.
The main raw material is malt processed from two-row barley produced in Hokkaido.

– Hokkaido’s two-row barley “Ryofu”, which is purchased from contracted farmers, will be harvested in vintage years, just like wine, and will incorporate the concept of making whiskey an
agricultural product rather than an industrial product. *Two vintages are written on the label: the year of barley harvest (HARVEST) and the year of distillation (DISTILLED). Drough from the malt is transported to a nearby poultry farm, where it is reused as feed and circulated within the region.
