- Delete - The article itself seems deceptive. According to this, it's not even whiskey but shochu. The alcohol might be made in Japan (though from an undisclosed source apparently), but the company--and I presume the mix—is American. The article thus smells of being an advertisement. There are a few reviews on the net in English, but I can't find anything in Japanese. This is not enough to pass WP:GNG. Michitaro ( talk) 01:14, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Agree with Michitaro - this isn't whiskey, but aged shochu, as it is made from rice through the use of koji mold (to break down the starches to sugars for fermentation) rather than barley, corn (maize), rye or wheat, which are malted to produce the sugars for fermentation in true whiskeys. Further, there are insufficient mentions in secondary sources to establish notability in general. Geoff | Who, me? 21:58, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
