This is a must do for anybody who would like to have an introduction to Japanese whiskey. Shugo, my guide for the whiskey journey, met me at the appointed place and brought me to the whiskey tasting room. He then told me about the origins of Japanese whiskey and how it has developed since. Then we started the tasting with Shugo seeking to get a feel for my particular whiskey taste so that he could select the appropriate Japanese whiskies to try. For me it was a great experience to be able to taste a wide range of Japanese whiskies from throughout Japan to understand the variety of aroma, simplicity or complexity of taste, and lightness or sharpness on the throat. Definitely so very interesting and unique whiskies. We had a good discussion and Shugo has perfect English which made for a very interesting sharing of whiskey experiences.

11/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The ByFood crew are great to deal with and operate a great tour, but this one was by far the best! Nathalie shared insights into Japan, Osaka, and knew the origins of our dishes and restaurants. We had kids with us and it was still incredibly inclusive and welcoming. We’ve done a few food tours in Japan now but this one was by far the best!
