Wonderful Japanese whisky - I had an incredible experience at this whisky tasting event in Japan, hosted by the amazing Hayato! | was absolutely shocked by the variety of unique whiskies offered —many I had never even heard of before. Hayato's passion and deep knowledge made the experience even more special, as he shared fascinating insights into the history and craftsmanship behind each bottle. Every tasting felt like a journey of discovery with flavors that truly stood out. If you're a whisky lover or just curious to explore, lhighly recommend this event.It's unforgettable!

Excellent tour, can’t recommend enough for real whiskey lovers and those seeking to explore true Tokyo whiskey culture. - We had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour. It was everything we wanted to find in a whiskey tour of Tokyo/Japan. We started by meeting our host, Koki, in Ebisu at 8 PM, from there, we visited two local whiskey bars that did not disappoint, ended up staying out until the last train would take us back home. Koki was an excellent host and by the end of the evening, a good friend. His passion for whiskey and his company really shown through. Each bar was a great local bar with less than 15 total seats, there is no way you would be able to find or get into either our if you were not a local, it was like being in our own neighborhood. The first bar was A really nice way to start the night, the bar was not intimidating and quiet, The bar owner was quiet and clearly wanted to help us find some whiskeys that we had not had before and would enjoy. My wife and I tried a few including some Fuji whiskeys all were very good. The next stop was even more fantastic, the bar set up was a bit more to our liking sitting at the counter, talking, not only with Koki but with the bar owner. The passion, both of them had for the whiskeys, that chase of rare bottles, and the different flavors Was great. It felt like talking to my friends at home about our bottle chases. We ended up getting to try a few rare bottles (Lucky Cat, Yamazakura Asaka Sakura Cask, and three from Ichiro’s malt…MWR, Double Distillers, and Red Wine Reserve). My wife really enjoys a tiki/tropical/fruity gin and the bartender recommended Komasa Gin in an orange flavor which was also great. Both Koki and the bar owner shared some of their favorite places to go find rare bottles in and around the city and other bar options throughout Tokyo and Japan. We are looking forward to going to chase a few rare bottles and visit some of the other whiskey bars around Tokyo. I simply can’t recommend this tour enough if you want to meet some great people with deep passion for whiskeys.

Superb discovery of Japanese whisky with Hayato - We were super well advised by Hayato and the two bars in Whisky was really great. We discovered Japanese whiskeys that we didn’t know and that matched the flavors we were looking for. Thank you very much for this beautiful evening spent with Hayato. We strongly advise, you will not be disappointed! Nathalie, Yohan et Bertrand

Nice and relaxing tour - Hayato was an excellent tour-guide! We had a really nice and pleasant time together with him. We tried different types of japanese whiskies in two bars in Ebisu that were a bit off the beaten track! Hayato was so nice and friendly. He gave us a lot of information on the drinking culture in Japan and beyond! We really enjoyed the tour! Thanks a lot again Hayato!!

Better than I imagined - We had an amazing time with an excellent guide. We stopped at two bars: a speakeasy and a hard core whiskey bar. Both we excellent and offered whiskies to suit any taste. Fyi, as always in Tokyo, wear comfortable shoes, as you'll do a bit of walking. Highly recommended

Hidden bar in Tokyo - My friend and I chose this tour and we really enjoyed ourselves. We did taste whiskeys that would have been hard to find on our own. And we absolutely had access to bars that would have been private otherwise. Our host Suemi was knowledgeable and professional.

A Memorable night until the early the day after. - Hayato was a great host, with great conversation and great English. I wouldn't have found the bars we went to without him. I enjoyed the tour and recommend it.

Knowledgeable & Professional guide - My brother and I chose this tour and we really enjoyed ourselves. We did taste whiskeys that would have been hard to find on our own. And we absolutely had access to bars that would have been private otherwise. Our host Koki was knowledgeable and professional.

Great night with Koki! - Great night with Koki! We went to a more private membership bar first, where we got to try many different Japanese whiskies. Having already tried a lot where we live, there were still so much more variety the bar had to offer. The second bar was more upbeat, there’s still no way we would’ve found it on our own, we were the only foreigners there. This bar had an even wider whiskey selection and one of the customers even started chatting with us while Koki translated. Had a great time and definitely would recommend!

Super helpful & fun tour! - A great intro to the neighborhood of Shinjuku and a lot of fascinating historical notes. Super helpful on our first full day/night in Tokyo. Dan was also very helpful with restaurant and shopping tips for the rest of our time in Tokyo. Thanks!
