Distillery Visits
Rascal + Thorn is working with local experts in Japan to get in-depth distillery visits and tastings. We plan to visit many of the important Japanese distilleries that are known worldwide as well as smaller distilleries with product only found in Japan.
On this tour we will visit Yamazaki, Hakushu, Miyagikyo, Chichibu, Mars Shinshu and others.
Whisky Bars
Japanese whisky bars are unlike any in the world! Not only can you try rare Japanese whiskies, but there are also Scotches and Bourbons that are only found in Japan as well.
One of the main highlights on this trip is visiting these whisky bars all around Japan. Our local Japan experts have the inside scoop on where to go and what to look for.
Great Dining
You can’t go to Japan and not have great food! Whether it is Ramen, Tempura, Yakitori or Sushi, Rascal + Thorn is known for finding some of the best cuisine on the planet.
Food will definitely be a highlight for sure!
