Yea, you can try to Google what you are looking for, but you are not going to readily find or learn what many of these individuals know, which is why I am doing this guide on Japanese food and culture influencers.

There are so many people out there that are more worthwhile to follow than most media outlets which range from Instagrammers, YouTubers to fellow bloggers, many of them I consider homies.

Visited Yamazaki distillery today. Tried these, still a good deal. Winner same as last year. Hakushu 25! Yamazaki 25 Sweet PX Sherry, hint of diesel, then sweet spicy oak, orange zest. Strong oak tannins. Hakushu 25 Fresh green apples. Rich mellow oak with smooth tannins, tastes old, slightest hint of smoke and sea salt. Balanced. Hibiki 30 Sweet, sandalwood, brown sugar, then rich oak, maltesers, milk chocolate, temple spice. #whisky #whiskey #JapaneseWhisky #JapaneseWhiskey #Japan #suntory #suntorywhisky #hakushudistillery #Hakushu #Yamazaki #yamazakidistillery #japanesedistillery #Scotch #ウイスキー #instadram #whiskygram #singlecask #singlemalt #whiskyjapan #whiskybar #whiskylove #whiskytasting #drinks🍹
