So we love scotch. So after some checking around, we found that you could visit the Yamazaki distillery just outside of Kyoto. Our concierge managed to get us in a tour the same day...we were SOO lucky to get in.

The place is huge and very instesting. You have an english audio guide that works well and there was a very nice guy who was Japanese but had lived in California for several years that was happy to also translate what the guides were saying to the rest of the tour group...ALL Japenese...in fact, we did not see a single western person.












Ah...the tasting room....most were drininking with sparkling water from the area...so they brough us both and some neat.











And what tour does not end in a gift shop...







A museum in the gift shop area...and a tasting tower at the exit...







Wow...was that fun...now i need a rest....
