Absolutely incredible selection of whiskeys! This is by far the most impressive collection I've seen in Kyoto, and I heartily echo all the other reviewers who rate this place as a must-visit for whiskey lovers.
The bartender has great recommendations based on your preferences for region and taste profile. My wife, not a whiskey drinker at all, thoroughly enjoyed his whiskey sour.
Lastly, he has a small bar menu and the beef jerky we had was delicious!
I will certainly be back every time we are in Kyoto!
