Kyoto, Japan｜Bar Prost

Who gets 4.9 on Google? People get that insanely high review for a reason - I would give this bar 6 stars if possible. I did a lot of research of whisky bars before choosing this one because there are so many them in the area and I don’t want to get ripped off. I really wanted to try rare ones like Yamazaki 18, Hakushu 18, Hibiki 17 and 21 but many places charge so much for these. I was so lucky finding this bar - Very very awesome place by a passionate owner who knows a lot about whiskies and enjoys serving his customers with great whiskies. The price is not only fair but the best I could find. I was able to try all of the rare ones and interesting Japanese whiskies with very good price and great chats with the owner (yes his English is very good as others have mentioned). It is so good so I went back again the 2nd night even though I had to take subways for like 40 min one way. I had my best whisky experiences here so - thank you very much. (there are surprise bottles in the house with good price which I will not disclose but just save it for whoever gets to visit :p Cheers!)

Strongly recommend (great whisky and cocktails)! My gf and I where lucky to arrive on a quiet raining evening. The owner/bartender, Taisuke, was very kind and is very knowledgeable. I'm already looking forward to returning next time we're in Kyoto.

One of the best hidden gems in beautiful Kyoto. The owner is warm and welcoming, with immense knowledge of whisky. Speaks good English too! The bar has a wide selection of whisky, from major to micro distillery. Must go for those who love whisky. 5 out of 5!
