What is Japanese whisky?
Whisky may not be originally from Japan, but recent years saw the world taking notice of whisky bottles coming out of the country. Japanese whisky brands Suntory and Nikka, etc., have now joined the ranks of its Scottish counterparts in terms of quality ratings and popularity.
What kinds of Japanese whisky will I be tasting?
Some examples are: Chita, Yamazaki 18, Hakushu, Hibiki Blender’s Choice, Yamazaki 1982, and other whisky.
In this 2 hour small group Japanese whisky tasting tour, visit a local bar with your tour guide to taste various types of Japanese whisky (4 – 5 short glasses, depending on availability) and learn about the subtleties and differences of these different brands, how the whiskies are aged and what sets the Japanese whisky apart from others around the world. You will also be able to experience what a local bar in Tokyo feels like, as you enjoy the atmosphere, talk to the bartender (with the help of your English-speaking tour guide) and sip on your chilled whisky (spelled “whisky” not “whiskey” in Japan). Some rare Japanese aged whisky may be available for purchase (not included) at the bar for guests interested
Please note that this tour will be at a local bar only, and does NOT include a distillery tour

Japanese whisky tasting with food

5.00My wife and I love whisky, and this tour was perfect. The tour guide was incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable about the area, although I can’t remember his name. He took us to two local restaurants, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. We were so full after the first restaurant that at the second one, we only ordered some delicious fried anglerfish. After our dining experiences, we visited a nice, quiet bar that had an impressive selection of whiskies. I lost count, but I would estimate that we tasted around six or seven different whiskies. The education we received during the tour was outstanding. I highly recommend this tour, and be sure to include the food tasting beforehand!
Overpriced and crooks!!!!

1.00Crooks they sell you telling you they will match the prices. When I came back telling them each bottle of whisky I bought is 12k yen difference. They refused to match or refund. Horrible customer services. The Chinese guys working there lie and the Japanese guys don’t understand customer service to even apologize. Avoid this place
Great bar! Great guide!

5.00We showed up to the whisky tasting and were greeted with a unique environment to enjoy our drinks. Shun was highly knowledgeable and was engaging to our conversation. He guided us through the experience with class and with grace. The whisky itself was very tasty and was presented with rich history. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who has the time in Tokyo, local or tourist.

5.00Shun-san was an amazing guide to introducing me to the growing world of Japanese Whisky. I had the opportunity to have this experience solo, as there were no other people in attendance, so i was able to get an extremely personalized and well-planned tasting experience of many types and styles of Japanese whisky. Explanations were detailed, and he even had a printout to help go through with. Besides the whisky, he was also very good at answering my questions regarding the state of Japan, and answering all of my other questions about basically anything. Without a doubt, this was one of my most memorable experiences, even if it was initially advertised as a tasting of different whiskys. I would even dare to possibly do this tour again (but perhaps explore a different variety), but definitely this was worth it. After this experience, i'm more interested in learning more from other styles around the world, and more interested in visiting the Suntory Distillery. Thank you again Shun-san for your guidance and time!
Great whisky experience

5.00Excellent experience during my first trip to Japan. Shun was our tour guide. Taught us about the history of Japanese Whisky (much better than the stuff I've had in America). And each whisky we drank tasted unique. Would highly recommend.
