Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey – 70cl 46%

Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey is an award-winning Japanese single grain whisky produced at the Fuji Gotemba Distillery in Shizuoka, Japan, at the foot of Mount Fuji.

Bottled at 46% ABV and presented in a 70cl bottle, Fuji Single Grain showcases one of the defining strengths of Fuji Gotemba: its ability to produce several different styles of grain whisky at a single distillery.

Unlike many grain whiskies built around a single production style, Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey combines Bourbon-style, Canadian-style and Scotch-style grain whiskies produced at Fuji Gotemba. Kirin describes these different grain styles as fundamental to the complexity of the finished whisky.

The result is an elegant and beautifully balanced Japanese grain whisky, combining ripe fruit, vanilla, caramel and gentle oak with the smooth texture that has become synonymous with the Fuji Japanese Whisky range.

Three Styles of Grain Whisky in One Bottle

One of the most interesting aspects of Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey is the diversity of whisky used in its composition.

Fuji Gotemba produces three distinctive styles of grain whisky:

Bourbon-Style Grain Whisky – providing richness, depth and a fuller-bodied character.

Canadian-Style Grain Whisky – contributing elegance, fruit and a lighter texture.

Scotch-Style Grain Whisky – adding structure and another layer of complexity.

These different grain whisky styles are produced and matured at Fuji Gotemba Distillery before being carefully blended to create the final Fuji Single Grain expression.

This makes Fuji Single Grain an excellent showcase of Japanese blending expertise and gives the whisky considerably more complexity than the term "grain whisky" might initially suggest.

Award-Winning Japanese Grain Whisky

Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey has achieved considerable international recognition.

At the International Spirits Challenge 2025, Fuji Single Grain received a Gold medal for the third consecutive year, alongside Fuji Single Malt and Fuji Single Blended.

The expression has also received recognition at the World Whiskies Awards, further establishing Fuji as an important name within premium Japanese grain whisky.

For customers searching for an award-winning Japanese whisky, Fuji Single Grain offers an interesting alternative to more conventional Japanese single malt and blended whisky.

What Makes Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey Special?

Grain whisky is sometimes viewed simply as a component used to create blended whisky, but Fuji Single Grain demonstrates how complex and characterful premium grain whisky can be in its own right.

Its defining feature is Fuji Gotemba's ability to produce multiple styles of grain whisky at one distillery.

By combining Bourbon, Canadian and Scotch-influenced production styles, Fuji's blenders have access to whiskies with different weights, textures and flavour characteristics.

This creates a Japanese single grain whisky with impressive depth while retaining the smooth, fruity and elegant character associated with Fuji.

Fuji Single Grain vs Fuji Single Malt

The Fuji Single Malt Japanese Whisky is produced entirely from malt whisky and has a particularly fruity, creamy character.

Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey, by comparison, focuses on Fuji Gotemba's grain whisky production and combines its different grain styles to create an elegant, smooth and layered expression.

Both are produced at the same distillery but demonstrate very different sides of Fuji Gotemba's whisky-making expertise.

Fuji Single Grain vs Fuji Single Blended

Fuji Single Grain is composed entirely of grain whisky.

Fuji Single Blended Japanese Whisky combines both malt and grain whiskies produced at Fuji Gotemba Distillery.

For anyone exploring the complete Fuji range, tasting the Single Malt, Single Grain and Single Blended alongside one another provides an excellent opportunity to understand how the individual malt and grain components contribute to Fuji's blended whisky style.
