Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan｜Mahorobi

Had a great time here, the owner was amazing and had excellent recommendations for Japanese whiskey. He also knows all there is to know about Scottish distilleries (helped to write a book on them, in fact). Definitely worth a visit.

A wonderful whisky bar with an amazing selection of current/old bottles. If your a big whisky fan it's worth a day trip to come out to matsumoto if your in Tokyo.

Relaxed atmosphere, reasonable prices, and EXTENSIVE selection of Japanese whiskys in addition to a wide variety of Scotch and other whiskys. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Teimei was very kind and took the time to put together an impromptu 'flight' with several whiskys as well as explain the differences in their production and tasting notes. A must visit for any experienced whisky fans looking to expand their pallate, or for the whisky-curious looking to find what variety of whisky they prefer.
