    (Translated by Google) This is the best shop that always introduces the best whiskey. It's not pushy, and you can go at your own pace. Tolerance that can be consulted without decorating, such as it's the first time, this is what I want. It has a tremendous selection of products, but I think it's not a maniac shop, but a bar that expands the base. (Original) いつも最高のウイスキーを紹介してくださる、最高のお店です。押し付けがましくなく、自分のペースを貫けるので、男女年齢関係なく、安心して楽しめるところが、最高の所以ですね。飾ることなく、初めてです、こんなのがのみたいです、と、相談できる包容力。凄まじい品揃えですが、だからといってマニアックなお店ではなく、裾野を広げるバーだと思います、

    (Translated by Google) It is not an exaggeration to say that it represents Japan, and it is a famous Scotch whiskey store. But lately, Master is addicted to Irish whiskey. I want to go again when the state of emergency is over. I visited you twice in January 2022. It is a certified store in Hyogo prefecture. I want you to do your best during "Manbo". (Original) 日本を代表するといっても過言では無いスコッチウイスキーの名店です。でも、最近、マスターはアイリッシュウイスキーにのめりこんでいます。緊急事態宣言が明けたらまた行きたいです。 2022年1月、2回も伺ってしまいました。兵庫県の認証店です。「まん防」中も頑張って欲しいです。

    神戸市営三宮駅から約100mほどのメインモルトというバーへ土曜の20時前に一人で行ってきました♪ 神戸市在住の友人がとてもオススメと勧めるためです♪ お店は2階にあり階段を上って行きますが、店の入口の重厚な扉には、ウィスキーの茶色の木箱が貼られていて素敵です♪ その扉を開けると、店内にはたくさんの美しいウイスキーの瓶で囲まれていて壮観でしたね! この数は凄いです! これはさすがウィスキー好きな方が相当集まっているお店だと思います♪ 左側にカウンター16席のお店で一番奥の席に案内され座りました。 さすがほぼ満席の人気店でしたね。 熱い湿った布お絞りを頂いて、せっかくなので玄関前の黒板に書かれていたGlenmorangie A Tale of Winter(グランモランジ ア テール オブ ウィンター)1,320円税込をロックで頼みます♪ スコットランドのウィスキーですね♪ アルコール分46%とは少しアルコール度数が高めです♪ 少ししてお水とともに運ばれますが、ウィスキーは口の広いグラスに直方体の透明な大きな氷が入り、綺麗で美しいです♪ そしてその洒落たウィスキー瓶も見せて頂きました♪ ウィスキー瓶のラベルはオレンジ色の明るい色のものでなかなか良いです♪ ウィスキーの味はしっかりとした味わいがあるものでさすが美味しかったです♪ ツマミは煎餅や干しぶどうなど4種類が運ばれ、そしてその後に、プチトマト付きのしっとりとしたハム・チーズ・野菜のサンドイッチもあったのは嬉しかったですね♪ さすが名店のお味です♪ そのチャージ料は550円税込でしたね♪ メインモルトはさすが本格的なバーで、美味しいウィスキーを十分堪能できとてもオススメです! なお今はラストオーダーは20:30でしたのでご注意ください。 また喫煙可のお店ですのでタバコが苦手な方は遠慮した方が良いかと思います。

    (Translated by Google) It's a very famous shop, so there's no mistake. If you are not a regular or a big whiskey lover, it is safe to order the whiskey written on the signboard. It wasn't the kind of store where you could get a lot of suggestions. (Original) とても有名なお店ですので間違いはないです。有名な分だけ常連もしくは相当なウイスキー好きではなければ看板に書いてあるウイスキーを注文をするのが無難という印象です。 多くの提案をしてもらえるような店ではありませんでした。

    (Translated by Google) I got 2 kinds of special whiskey. The sandwiches are exquisitely delicious. Good atmosphere. I'm a whiskey beginner, but after consulting Master chose. I relaxed in the store of the best part ♪ (Original) 特別な2種のウイスキーを頂けました。 サンドイッチが絶妙に美味しい。 雰囲気良し。 ウイスキー初心者ですが、相談したら マスターが選んでくれました。 圧巻の店内に寛げました♪

    INCREDIBLE bar. As an avid whiskey lover, I've been to my fair share of whiskey bars. Some great, some terrible. This one tops it as probably one of my favorites. The atmosphere is great. If you are familiar with the Whiskey Tribe youtube channel, it feels like you're having a drink in the vault. The prices are extremely reasonable for what you get (especially for Japanese whiskey). Service is impeccable. Highly recommended! The only downside I see with this bar is that smoking is allowed inside. It's hard to nose a glass of $40 whiskey when the guy next to you is facing cigarettes.

    Potentially the greatest selection of Irish whisky in japan. Scotch selection was impeccable as well. The owner took the time to acquire 100s of brands and now his bar is almost like a museum. Atmosphere was pleasant and quiet, and excellent way to enjoy a dram. It’s difficult to find, as it is on the basement floor.

    Very good selection of current Irish whisky, Benriach and other older gems.

    Incredible whiskey bar! Probably the best whiskey bar in Japan and definitely the best selection of Irish whiskeys I have seen in any bar in the world including Irish whiskey bars in Ireland! This place is a must visit for any whiskey fan and even if you aren’t it’s worth a visit, very friendly owner who makes you feel incredibly welcome!

    hello. This is Sulsaeu, currently active at Naver. This is a gem-like bar in Kobe where you can taste a variety of whiskeys at very reasonable prices. I had no idea you could drink this much for this price. It's been a while since I've been here, and I'm so happy to get to know a new place. If you are serious about whiskey, I recommend drinking a variety of recommended whiskeys. I recommend Japanese rather than English. Boss, it was fun. (社長、楽しくごちそうさまでした !)

    (Translated by Google) You can't miss this shop in Kobe. First of all, I get drunk with the overwhelming number of sake bottles. Surprisingly, the mini-sandwich is a snack. Opened in July 2018 for 25 years. Congratulations. In the future, it seems that I will stick to Irish whiskey even more. (Original) 神戸でこの店は外せない。 圧倒的な酒瓶の数にまず酔う。 意外にいけるのが、おつまみのミニサンド。 2018年7月に開業25年。 おめでとうございます。 今後は一層アイリッシュ・ウイスキにこだわるそうです。

    A strong contender for the greatest whiskey bar in the world, up there with the likes of Jack Rose in Washington, D.C. A selection of what must be at least a thousand bottles, including rare bottlings, at very reasonable prices. Worth a trip from Kyoto, Osaka, or even Tokyo.
