Japan, Osaka - Whisky & Wine 'Shun' on the 6th floor of Swissotel Nankai Osaka (Location: Chuo-ku, Osaka; General Manager: Shane Edwards), a hotel with Swiss roots, will host 'Whisky Social' on Saturday, April 25, 2026. This event will feature Yuzo Ishihara, Suntory's 5th Master of Whisky, as a special guest lecturer.
Whisky & Wine 'Shun' holds the 'Whisky Social' event monthly, welcoming not only whisky enthusiasts but also those who want to start enjoying whisky. In April, we will welcome Yuzo Ishihara, Suntory's 5th Master of Whisky, as a special lecturer to introduce the appeal and ways to enjoy the single malt whisky 'Yamazaki'. The Master of Whisky is the highest qualification in the Whisky Connoisseur Certification System sponsored by the Whisky Culture Research Institute, with only a few titleholders in Japan. Mr. Ishihara, who has been involved with whisky for many years, will explain the profound world of Yamazaki in an easy-to-understand manner from his unique perspective.
On the day of the event, you can enjoy the differences in aroma and flavor through a tasting flight of single malt whiskies 'Yamazaki', 'Yamazaki 12 Years', and 'Yamazaki 18 Years'. Among them, 'Yamazaki 12 Years' and 'Yamazaki 18 Years' are known as brands that have become difficult to obtain in recent years, making this a rare opportunity to taste and compare them.
After the seminar, a free flow of single malt whisky 'Yamazaki' will be provided along with dishes from 'Shun'. You can spend a relaxing time in a calm atmosphere with live jazz music.
Please experience this special moment to learn about the charm of whisky while tasting it.
