Experience Details

In less than a century, Japan has become one of the world’s leading whisky producers.


With this success, demand has soared, prices have risen, and many labels have become harder to find. Some whiskies that were once widely available in Japan are now rare even for locals.


In this tasting experience, your host makes it easy to enjoy some of the country’s most coveted Japanese whiskies. Working with local whisky experts, long-standing liquor stores, and members-only bars, he has brought together a selection of labels for you to taste in the lively Shibuya district of Tokyo.


During the experience, you will sip 10 different Japanese whiskies paired with sweet snacks. Your knowledgeable host will guide you through the flavors, history, and background of each whisky, helping you understand what makes Japanese whisky unique.


By the end of the session, you’ll take a commemorative photo with all the whiskies you’ve tried and leave with a deeper appreciation for Japanese whisky, plus a memorable souvenir to remember the experience.

'요시'상께서 테이스팅 진행을 맡아주셨습니다. 일본의 위스키에 대해서 잘몰랐는데 여러가지 위스키를 마시면서 '요시'상이 친절하게 설명해주니 일본의 위스키에 대해 배울 수 있었습니다. ('요시'상이 영어를 잘한다는 부분도 참고하면 좋겠네요) 저 혼자서 예약해서 진행했음에도 편안한 분위기에서 즐길 수 있었습니다. 한국에서 구할 수 없거나 처음보는 위스키...read more
