Chita Whisky
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- The best! I literally landed in Tokyo Saturday afternoon and at the station heading to family’s house picked up a bottle of chita for high balls.
- I’ve got a bottle of Chita in, I prefer to sip that on ice.
- make yourself a highball with either Toki or Chita (if you can find it) with Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey and ginger ale/ginger beer.
- Chita: Light but tasty single grain whisky--neat, rocks, highballs all quite good.
- Fortunately Chita has not yet become as famous, so is still a great deal.
Cons
- Ever since they increased the MSRP last year to more closely match the prices abroad, Japanese are refusing to buy them. This applies to Yamazaki, Hakushu, Hibiki and Chita bottles.
- I wouldn't bother with Chita. You can easily find that in the US.

I killed 2 bottles of Chita tho with my BIL making highballs, at 6000 yen a pop its super drinkable and refreshing it was SO HOT the last couple weeks…
I usually grab one of each and a Chita.

The Chita and Kirin Fuji Sanroku Signature Blend will be well below that, findable, and not easily available in the states.
