Kyoto: Curated Japanese Whisky Tasting

Guided Japanese whisky tasting in Kyoto run by an English-speaking certified whisky expert.

The tasting:
Enjoy a curated selection of 5 Japanese single malts in this friendly, interactive experience. Each tasting is limited to 4 participants, giving you plenty of opportunity to ask anything you want to know about Japanese whisky. Tastings last for approximately 90 minutes and are held at a small bar north of Nijo Station. It’s an area slightly off the normal tourist trail, but is easily accessible by public transport. A good opportunity to see a part of Kyoto you might not visit otherwise! Tastings are only held when the bar is closed, so there will be no random bar customers wandering through.

About me:
I’m half-Japanese, born and raised in Australia, but have called Kyoto home since 2012. I have a Whisky Expert qualification from the Japan Whisky Research Centre, and am just a general all-round whisky obsessive. Be warned, I can happily talk about whisky all day!
