Nikka Whisky: Single Malt Yoichi vs Single Malt Miyagikyo REVIEW Kanpai Planet 2026-09-21 | Nikka Whisky: Single Malt Yoichi vs Single Malt Miyagikyo REVIEW
ONE Distillery for Life?!? Japanese Whisky Edition Kanpai Planet 2025-10-01 | Support Kanpai Planet at buymeacoffee.com/kanpaiplanetIf You Could Only Drink ONE Japanese Whisky Distillery Forever... Which Would You Choose?The ultimate whisky challenge: choosing a single Japanese whisky distillery for the rest of your life. No other options. Ever. Which one would it be?In this video, I tackle this impossible question posed by @JeffWhisky, exploring what makes a distillery worthy of lifetime commitment. I need variety, consistent quality, properly aged liquid, and an iconic character that represents the best of Japanese whisky.I consider the legendary closed distilleries like Karuizawa and Hanyu, promising newcomers like Kanosuke and Chichibu, and established powerhouses including Yamazaki, Hakushu, Yoichi, Miyagikyo, and Kirin. But only ONE can make the cut.My choice? It might not surprise longtime Kanpai Planet fans, but the reasoning goes deeper than you think. Now it's YOUR turn: Which Japanese whisky distillery would you commit to forever?

What Im thinking about Japanese Whisky right now Kanpai Planet 2025-09-03 | Support Kanpai Planet at buymeacoffee.com/kanpaiplanetThe Japanese whisky industry is at a crossroads, and it's time for some brutal honesty. From ANA's ¥34,000 Akkeshi bottles with zero tasting notes to Suntory's eye-watering price hikes, something needs to change. In this deep dive, I break down the four critical factors that will make or break Japanese whisky over the next five years:TRANSPARENCY - Why consumers still don't trust the category and how voluntary industry standards aren't enoughPRICING - How Japanese whisky transformed from a drink into a commodity investment vehicle (spoiler: it's not sustainable)QUANTITY - The explosion from 10 to 124+ distilleries and why most craft operations will never achieve viable scaleQUALITY - Does the liquid actually justify these prices? The answer might surprise you.We've gone from Suntory selling 12.4 million cases of whisky in 1980 to an industry where most bottles sit in an "unsweet spot" - too expensive for everyday drinking, too rare to enjoy casually, but not good enough for a special occasion. The mystique-driven era is ending. Transparency, genuine value, and respect for consumers will determine who survives the next decade. Am I optimistic?

What a TOKYO WHISKY FESTIVAL is really like Kanpai Planet 2022-04-22 | SUPPORT KANPAI PLANET AT buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanetWhisky Festival 2022 in Tokyo marked the return of real-world whisky festivals to Tokyo and a thirsty crowd lapped up the comeback on the weekend of 26 and 27 March 2022. 4 sessions were held across two days. Each session was 3.5 hours long. I attended Session 1 and Session 4 of Whisky Festival 2022 in TOKYO (ウイスキーフェスティバル2022 in TOKYO). Check out my adventures sampling delicious beverages and networking with Japan’s drinks industry illuminati. Including Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, Chichibu Distillery Founder Ichiro Akuto, Mars Tsunuki Distillery Manager Tatsuro Kusano and many more. It was great to see many new Japanese distilleries at the event, in many cases upstaging the presence of the big guns such as Suntory and Nikka.It’s not just Japanese Whisky. Watch to see how Scotch, American, Irish, Welsh and English Whisky are presented in Japan. And it’s not just whisky - rum and gin get a shout out too! You can also enjoy walkabout performances from bagpiper Atsushi Yamane (山根篤) in the video, and this on our sister channel Maction Planet: youtu.be/B2M7sVhwceA 2022年03月26日（土）・27日（日）に初の2日間開催されたウイスキーフェスティバル2022 in東京の様子をお届けします！次回のウイスキーフェスティバルもお楽しみにWelcome to Kanpai Planet, bringing you the world of Japanese drinks direct from the heart of Tokyo.
