I think it’s great that you can try 10 different whiskies at this price. I look forward to trying the whisky again at your bar when I return:)
Intimate and casual whiskey tasting. Informative but not intimidating. Host was friendly, knowledgeable and ensured everyone had a good time.
What an amazing Japanese whiskey experience! Huge thanks to Dan for introducing us to an incredible selection of whiskeys and sharing his knowledge and passion. Great whiskey, great conversation, and unforgettable memories! Definitely a highlight of our Japan adventure! Highly recommend!
Fantastic tours! Renia gave wonderful explanations and a full understanding if the whiskeys! Wonderful tour! If you are interested in learning about Japanese Whiskey, this is a great tour.
Excellent experience. Dan was very knowledgeable and we tried a good range of Japanese whiskeys. He talks you through the different types and flavour profiles.
Tired 10 whiskey’s (30ml each) and then had a glass of our favourite to finish. Some good information provided about the whiskey as well. The location is private in their own office so would be good for a private tour group. Thank you.
This was great! Our host was Reina and he was awesome. We mixed up our tour day showing a day early because of some schedule shifting, but they squeezed us in which was so very kind and helpful. Reina is knowledgeable about the whiskey and oersonable. Very good whiskey selections and a wonderful experience! Loved it. Thank you
If you get Rein as a tasting facilitator then you struck gold! He is knowledgeable about the whisky history and is engaging. We confused the date for the tour and he took care of us for a same day booking. He's the best. You will enjoy 10 tasting and a bonus at the end.
Ma man Reina looked after us. The whiskeys were fantástic. The experience brilliant. The company - well….. nah they were chat too. Would recommend. 100%.
The BEST Whiskey tour no question
Had a wonderful time with Dan! Would recommend to anyone.
Dan was awesome, answered tons of our questions (we had a lot) and shared about his own experience which was helpful. Would come again for sure!
Reina and Dan led us through a wonderful Japanese whiskey tasting experience! A can’t miss event if you love whiskey and want to be immersed in Japanese culture with very knowledgeable and hospitable guides! Thank you once again Reina and Dan!!! We will be back someday!!
Private tasting of variety of Japanese whiskey to include common offerings as well as more unique options.
Such a fun evening and learned so much
Dan was amazing great service very knowledgeable
This experience was a must have for anyone interested in Japanese whiskey. Dan was extremely knowledgeable. He helped us understand the history of whiskey in Japan, and guided us through the tasting - what to expect from each whiskey from a flavor profile perspective. Dan's english was excellent, and he had such great stories to tell that the tour went by in a flash. We wanted to go for a drink afterwards, so Dan showed us his favorite local bar as well. Overall, with an extremely friendly/knowledgeable tour guide and great whiskeys, this is guaranteed to be a great evening for anyone who signs up!
Great whiskey tasting experience. Easy to meet up, really well organised and the whole session was fun, relaxed, and genuinely unique. Learned a lot without it feeling too formal. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different to do.
This is a MUST to do in Japan. Great friendly, easy to understand, informative guide. Top notch whiskey!!!! Telling all our friends to do this tour…. We would definitely do it again and again.
Dan is the Man!!! He is a real gem who provided such a great Whiskey experience!! Wish he could come back with us and do some tastings for the Whiskey Wenches in San Francisco!!
Dan was amazing! Great selection of whiskey and provided some great history behind each one!
Was a truly awesome experience. Dan was super knowledgeable and personable. The whiskeys were great, and we got plenty of great recs for what to do after the tasting ❤️ Arigatou Gozaimasu!!
Dan is educational, informative, friendly, and an fantastic host. If you like whiskey, there is no better way to experience the Japanese side of it than with Dan, The Man. Friendly, comfy, and a fantastic trip through the culture of Japanese whiskey. What are you doing still reading this review? Book this already!!!!!!
Fantastic tasting experience. Easy meetup location, host was very communicative. The setting was very cozy and intimate. The host was very knowledgeable about whiskey and where they came from, they provided a wonderful variety of whiskies with very different flavor profiles, the snack pairings were delicious and really enhanced the whiskies. We had great conversation between host and other guests and they were very helpful with other tips for our vacation. Highly recommend.
Dan was a great host! Did a great job of explaining the history of Japanese whiskey, answering questions, and even gave us travel tips while visiting Japan. The whiskeys were really good and it was a really nice assortment varying in flavor profiles.
I am writing to share how much we enjoyed our recent whisky tasting. Our host, Dan, was amazing and truly made it a wonderful experience. He educated us on the history of whisky in Japan as we tasted various selections, detailing the specialties and origins of each region. Dan was highly articulate and his passion for the subject was evident. We also greatly appreciated his insights into the general history and culture of Japan. We were very impressed and would highly recommend this tasting to others. Thank you, Dan, for such a memorable experience.
We had a wonderful time! Tasted many types of wonderful highly rated whiskey and our host was great as he gave us the historical background of each. Very short walk from the train station. Truly worth the money.
Dan was the best! Very fun, casual experience, but at the same time very knowledgeable and informative. My wife and I ended up having a private tasting, lots of fun tasting many different Japanese whisky. We know our whisky but Dan still managed to surprise us. Would highly recommend! Kampai!
Dan was very informative and friendly, we ended up handing a private tasting with him, he brought out all kinds of wonderful whisky and explained th stories behind it. Very relaxed, and fun environment, would highly recommend for anyone who loves Japanese whisky or is looking to get into it. Kampai!
Dan was incredible!!! He taught us so much so much about japanese whiskey, it's history, and the japanese liquor industry.
I had so much fun with her during this whiskey tasting session that provided around 10 different delicious Japanese whiskeys. It’s a must try!!!
If you’re even remotely curious about Japanese whisky, you have to do this. Seriously, stop looking at other tours and just book this one with Suemi.
Fantastic experience! Dan was an amazing host and we had such a great time as he showed us a huge variety of Japanese whiskeys. Such a cozy and intimate experience! I would totally recommend this to anyone who has any interest in learning about whiskey. 10 out of 10.
Loved the experience! Dan the guide was fantastic.
A most excellent experience. It was a great way to celebrate my husband's birthday. Dan was a phenomenal teacher in terms of explaining the process of whiskey, the different kinds and where they are from. In addition, we got to try 10 great whiskey that you wouldn't normally find back in the states. And as it was my husband's birthday, he added an additional one from Kieran that was quite amazing as well. All the whiskeys were excellent and it was really hard to choose a favorite, but we will definitely make sure to get one before we leave for the states. I wrote a lot of notes during the tasting, which will help us pick the right one. I highly recommend Dan to anyone whether they are a newbie about whiskeys or a seasoned drinker like us willing to learn and try other less common types of Japanese whiskey. All will certainly find a favorite after this tasting experience.

We learned a lot about Japanese whiskeys, the history of it. And where it is today and experienced over ten different whiskeys, we're the very knowledgeable leader.
Dan showed us and let us sample a wide range of Japanese whiskeys so it was quite informative. We found a couple of new favorites and will definitely look for them when we get back home
Easy to get to location. Guide Yukata was prompt and helpful. He provided a very good demonstration of Japanese whisky history and current brands. Recommend trying this tour if you are interested in tasting Japanese whisky. Enjoy the whisky and conversation!
This experience was the highlight of our trip! Shugo was AMAZING and made us feel really welcomed. He was genuinely excited to do the tasting with us and was super knowledgeable. Pour after pour, the order of the whiskeys was very thoughtful and the snacks he offered paired really well with each glass. We were relieved to find that the whiskeys we tried were exclusively sold in Japan which was really important to us in this experience. We had such good whiskeys and even better conversation that we could have easily stayed the whole night. Shugo even helped us with recommendations for the rest of our trip! He is truly a lifelong connection and we are so thankful he hosted our experience. Our only regret is that we forgot to ask for a group photo at the end. Many thanks to Shugo and Omoide team! HIGHLY recommend this tasting.
excellent introduction to Japanese whisky in a fun, intimate, and engaging setting. Dan was a wonderful guide to exploring lesser-known and newer Japanese whiskies that range from the elegant and subtle to the bold and mysterious.
This was an amazing activity. Dan, our guide, met us as planned, and educated us about history and current status of Japanese whiskeys. Whiskeys for the tasting were not pre-selected - instead the selection evolved from our assessments of the whiskeys we tasted. Definitely high quality, and whiskeys we would not know about. Dan truly served as a guide through the tasting. We also learned a bit more about Tokyo. This experience was a highlight of our trip, and we give it our highest recommendation.it would be impossible to taste all of the whiskeys in one visit. We will book it again on our next trip and also book their sake tasting!
Had an amazing experience on this Japanese whisky tour with Hayato. It ended up being a private tasting, which made it even better. Hayato was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to — we had a great conversation about whisky, culture, and everything in between. The selection was top-notch, with a thoughtful range that really showcased how diverse Japanese whisky can be. I left with a much deeper appreciation for it and even discovered a few new favorites. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Hayato as your guide.
Such a fun evening with a kind and generous host! Dan was a great guide and helped us discover some new favourites. We left feeling merry in more ways than one!
Hayato provided a combined self exploration and directed guidance through different whiskeys available in Japan while sharing historical facts about the different whiskeys we tried.
We had a lovely experience at the whiskey tasting, and tried whiskeys that we’ve never seen, or tried before. Our guide was so kind and knowledgeable. We learned so much. We had so much fun! We also had some Japanese snacks and they were so cute and tasty. I would recommend taking this tour to converse with a real Japanese person and try interacting whiskeys !
It was wonderful experience. Dan was really amazing and had very good knowledge of Japanese whiskey.
An enjoyable sampling of many types of Japanese whiskey. Our host, Shugo, catered the drinks towards our taste preferences and we had a fun evening chatting about Japanese culture. It's a very relaxed environment and the host makes an effort to provide a great experience. There were plenty of samples of high quality whiskey so you definitely receive good value for money and we left feeling very satisfied.
Dan was amazing, so knowledgable about whiskey and such a fun tour. If you like Japanese whiskey or want to know more about it would highly recommend!
