Overview
You’ll be surprised how dedicated Japanese whiskey is and its complicated process.
Of course you can just enjoy drinking whiskey, but if you know its background, your whiskey life will be more meaningful.
Whiskey is one of the most mysterious alcohols.
I’ll explain basic knowledge of whiskey and its process.
Then, focus on unique points of Japanese whiskey. I’ve prepared several quizzes about whiskey, so you can prove and show how much you love whiskey.
In the drinking session, we can begin with nosing in a proper way.
Then, “Word” is important.
Blenders also use their own “words” to express whiskey’s taste and smell.
Let’s exchange everybody’s whiskey by your “words”.
If you have Japanese whiskey, it’s highly welcomed, but also your country’s whiskey is very welcomed.
I’d like to know how your whiskey is and how you enjoy it.
As part of our culture, I’ll teach how to enjoy a “Highball” (whiskey with soda).
Now people couldn’t go drinking easily because of self-isolation.
In Japan, we started “Online Drinking Party” and it’s actually very cool.
And this is also how we enjoy and worship whiskey.
Sometimes, Japanese local whiskey lovers will join this session.

Kenji was such a fantastic host! I set this up for a virtual school event with some parents and we drank samples of Japanese Whisky that we purchased locally. Kenji was easy to work with, responsive, and knows his whisky! He was flexible and the feedback from the guests was that they LOVED him and we all plan to visit Kenji in Japan once the pandemic is over. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to learn about whisky, enjoys whisky, or as a team building event.

Kenji was an amazing host for this virtual whisky tasting and tour. He was so knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. This was an amazing experience for us all. Highly recommend this to others! Looking forward to traveling to Japan some day and doing tours in person with Kenji too!

We had a great time with Kenji and also meeting other whiskey lovers. There were four of us in our session, but I commend Kenji for adjusting his presentation and also letting us interact far more since we all had intermediate level knowledge or better for Japanese whiskey. I think what our session really turned out to be was a chance to connect with other people who had a mutual interest that has also hopefully sparked the opportunity for a future meeting in Japan post-pandemic. So, if you love whiskey and want to learn more, definitely book. If you want the opportunity to meet like-minded lovers of the brown drink, then why haven’t you already booked? My bonus tip, come with several whiskey choices. Make it an opportunity to add to your bar cart.

Kenji was very knowledgeable about Japanese whiskey and his timing was impeccable – he encouraged our small group of 3 to ask questions throughout, and tailored the “itinerary” to become more interactive accordingly. He is well traveled and was a wonderful host. Highly recommend for those wanting to learn more about Japanese whiskey, or even those just wanting to know more about Japan! My fiancé and I had a fantastic time.

We already loved Japanese whisky, but Kenji deepened our appreciation of its history and art today! Our experience was super easy, engaging and accessible, and it was great to spend an hour with Kenji while sipping on our Japanese whisky at home. When the pandemic is over, we look forward to visiting the Yamazaki Suntory distillery and the beautiful whisky library.
