Osaka, Japan｜SUNTORY WHISKY HOUSE「Whisky Bottle Bar」

A great bar. Gets very busy with local business folks so get in as they open. You can sit at the bar and do a tasting of 9 Japanese whiskys for under 6000 yen. This includes Hibiki 21 and Yamakazi 18. Food is good as well though only tried a few items

Got to be up there on the list of all time favourites, here you can try all the Suntory whiskys even the ultra rare Yamazaki vintages or the not yet released on foreign markets ultra smooth “Masters Dream”. Whatever your poison is come hungry as their food is also good, leave room for the wagyu sandwich... heaven

Great place to come and try a bunch of the different suntory whiskys if you havent had any luck finding a bottle. They have a large assortment of ones to try, plus they do tasting flights, including some of the rare aged ones. Sadly they were actually out of the hibiki 21, so only got to try the 17 instead, but worth it nonetheless. Also has an interesting sort of gallery/museum on the way in. The food here is also really good, which is funny as most of the groups were coming for the upscale restaurant rather than to taste whiskys. I would definitely recommend the smoked beef and the fried shrimp.
