Made January 27, 1974, NIKKA HOKKAIDO DISTILLERY commemorative medal-shaped keychain. A rare, excellent condition item, distributed exclusively at the Yoichi Distillery, with very few remaining. 【Rarity】 • Frequency of appearance: ★☆☆☆☆ (Extremely rare - limited distribution at the distillery) • Condition: Excellent (No dents, glossy surface) • Collector demand: High (Whisky distillery related goods, Showa-era company medal category) 【Production Background】 In the late 1970s, Nikka produced limited edition medals, keychains, ashtrays, cufflinks, etc., featuring their logo, in conjunction with the "Yoichi Distillery Open House Commemoration" and "Hokkaido Tourism PR" campaigns. In particular, this "HOKKAIDO DISTILLERY" series, bearing the inscription, was distributed for a short period at the Yoichi Distillery as a symbolic souvenir. The same design existed as special products for visitors at the time or for distribution to related parties, and there is no record of general sales. 【Future Value】 In recent years, the founding history of Nikka Whisky (Masataka Taketsuru and Rita Taketsuru) and Yoichi Distillery related goods are gaining popularity as the "Japanese Whisky Cultural Heritage Collection." Especially the non-sale commemorative medals from the Showa era / Tenshodo and Tokuriki metal craft series have steadily increased in value over a decade. This medal also has a clear manufacturing date of "49.1.27," and there is a high possibility that its documentary and collector value will increase in the future.
