Came in not too long before close and managed to smash out a quick custom flight of recommended Japanese whiskys. The bartender was friendly and funny enough with a dry sense of humour. We enjoyed a little chat about whisky and movies, but may have been a slight pain as we wanted to blindly explore, rather than having a choice in mind when we ordered. We missed the movie that played earlier in the night, but got to enjoy a variety of movie soundtracks shuffling over the speakers.

Small hidden bar with a whole lot of whiskey and a steady knowledgeable bartender with a world of experience. I asked for a sampling of sherry casket Japanese whiskey and he found obscure bottles for me to try.

Small bar with tons of whiskies to try, located on the 3rd floor. I only had time for a quick pour of Yamazaki one evening on the way back to my hotel. Would love the chance to come back with friends.
