  • What is Japanese whisky?

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

Great bar! Great guide!

Published on Mar, 2025

We took the tour with Shun! It was great! We took 6 drinks and chocolate. He explained Japan history and we even talked about our country! So much fun!

Great Time!

Published on Jan, 2025

Incredible time, incredible whisky, excellent company - Duke was wonderful and gave us some great history. Duke was an excellent resource and incredibly thoughtful in his explanations Japanese whisky tradition. His enthusiasm has left us wanting for more. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

Amazing experience with Shun.

Published on Dec, 2024

We 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.
