Amazing experience!
My brother love the whiskeys. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly and knew enough English for us to be able to communicate. The pizza was some of the best my brother and I have ever had. We both still cannot believe that pizza from Japan was that phenomenal.

Interesting tasting of a range of whisky
Well presented, informative and tasty selection of Japanese whiskey in a quiet space with interesting art work. Great pizza as well! Description says that the host does not speak English but he has more English than I have Japanese!
