This tour absolutely delivered. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese whisky and its history. He patiently explained the nuances of each whisky we tasted, making even a relative novice like me appreciate the subtle differences. The bar itself was fantastic, it's a hidden gem tucked away in Ginza.

I booked this tour for a group of friends visiting from abroad, and it was a huge hit! None of us were whisky experts, but we were all curious to try Japanese whisky. This tour was the perfect introduction. Our guide, Hana, was fantastic. The bar had a great vibe – not too crowded, but lively. We loved chatting with the bartender (thanks to Hana's translations!) and hearing his recommendations. The whisky itself was delicious – we all had our favorites.

The bar is truly exceptional and a gem for all kinds of reasons, the owner must have a passion for Scotch and if you like whiskey, especially the old stuff, you shouldn't miss this tour. And the guide was incredibly kind and polite with us , what a wonderful woman

Our guide Sousuke is very knowledgeable and was able to order many types of drinks to suit our different tastes. My favorite is this Hibiki whiskey; I don't know how to explain it, but it's very smooth. After the tour, our guide went above and beyond and recommended other places in Ginza for us to visit on our own

Keizo, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining & we got a good selection of whiskies from across Japan. A very good first introduction to the different whisky styles from Suntory. Keizo’s stories were very entertaining.

The whiskey tasting tour led by Toru was incredible! He was a very knowledgable host and was a great guide who explained everything given to us from proper etiquette, to whisky history in great detail. The bar he took us to for the whiskey tasting were absolutely incredible in terms of quality of food and atmosphere. Absolutely must try and would gladly book again!

One of the highlights of my trip. An intimate tasting at a bar, just me and Seizo. Seizo talked first about the history of whisky in Japan, to help set the context for the drinks, and then I had five tastings of single malts, blends, etc. I learned a lot about Japanese whisky as well as Japanese history, culture, and politics. Highly recommend!

This whisky experience was a definitely a highlight of our 9-day trip to Japan. Aikiko was an wonderful guide, who knows so much about whisky and Japanese culture. He's very paitient, good natured and sull of information. We learnt a lot about whisky history in Japan and tried 5 kinds of whiskies together, if you want to try some other types, you can request the restaurant at an additional cost. the tour guide also took nice pictures for us. Highly recommended!
