Kyoto Long-Aged Mizunara Oak Whisky Tasting at Nishiki Market

A whole tasting built around one rare wood: compare Dewar's and Chivas Regal 18 finished in Mizunara with Kokiku, a Japanese single malt that spent ten years inside the oak, then add water to the cask-strength pour and watch the incense-like aroma open up. Tasting cards and your bartender explain each bottle in simple English. A relaxed bar lounge inside a Nishiki Market restaurant, open every hour, every day.
