Some absolute incredible pieces of history right there - not just bottles but all sorts of memorabilia you’ll never see anywhere else! I hope that the owner has someone who he can entrust this collection to one day.
Also your reaction to the Tory’s was hilarious haha! I had a feeling after you nosed it you weren’t going to love it. Have missed your videos, Mac. Good to see you uploading again.
I am also hoping that the collection has a good future. That pot still alone...
Thanks always for the support. It is good to be back!
Great video! That collection is truly world class!
It really is! One for any fan of drinks, marketing, branding, history and culture to enjoy!
That place seems like a little piece of paradise!
It truly is! An incredible spot full of interest and passion.
Man.. i can appreciate the passion dedicated to this museum
That was one my goals with this video so I am really glad it came across!
Welcome back, Mac! Relocating soon to Kyushu from Honshu and excited to check out Tenryo Hita Museum. Thanks for the share and kanpai!
Tell Takashima-san that Mac sent you, and enjoy. All the best with the relocation!
It's awesome to see a video from you
Thank you! It is good to be back!
This is a man after my own heart. Bravo!
🥃🥃🥃
Thanks!
Thank YOU for supporting Kanpai Planet!
Such an incredible museum and such an adorable guy.
Love to see his passion and effort to build that.
Great video Mac!!
Glad you enjoyed this one! Please share it with all your friends! 🥃🥃🥃

This was so great to watch! So much from Nikka here. Still my fav overall whiskies are Taketsuru, Miyagikyo, and Yoichi NAS's. All versions have their own wonderful flavor and every version remains consistent. I love them!
Kanpai, Kanpai Planet. Thanks for posting this!
Glad you enjoyed the video and those Nikka whiskies. Kanpai! 🥃🥃🥃
Insane, Mac, thanks for sharing ! I'm jealous of the still especially, but I'm nowhere near able to have a house which could welcome it ! Kanpaï, my friend ! 👍👍👍🥃
It's good to be back sir! And yes, enough space to stick a potstill in your abode would be nice! Kanpai! 🥃🥃🥃
@@KanpaiPlanet it's a "big bang" like return, lol, well done, Mac, we needed you !
That means a lot to me Greg!
@@KanpaiPlanet I know I'm not the only one, Mac, see the reactions !
People are too kind!
Nice to see a new video from you. Cheers
Thanks Gert!
What an amazing video to feature this whisky museum! A fun episode indeed, you can also feel the owner is like a kid at heart when it comes to talking about his collection.
Rarely been in the presence of such passion. An incredible man and a devastatingly good collection!
What an amazing place. Super cool video Mac! Loved seeing all those rare bottles and memorabilia
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Wow. Absolutely incredible! Everywhere you look there is another amazing piece of history. Excellent!
Thanks so much Blair. Coming from a legend like you, that means a lot. You would love this place! 🥃🥃🤓
What a fantastic museum. You provided a great tour - loved the video!

Wowza. I wish this video never ended! I'm interested in the notes you got on that last dram lol
The notes were not for public consumption! Thanks for watching and commenting. Please consider supporting Kanpai Planet at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet

That’s one hell of a museum, and what a fantastic bar, pretty amazing place, thanks for sharing Mac. Slàinte.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Kanpai!
Such an amazing person and collection! The back story on how he is able to fund all this would be interesting. And the second thought is what happens to collection when the someday hopefully very far in the future Takashima san is gone? Sort of reminds me of The David Rumsey Map Collection. He collected 150,000 maps over 35 years and finally donated to Stanford and now all the maps are on line. First step: convince Takashima san to catalog his collection!!
Takahsima-san does indeed need persuading! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome place!!
It was indeed! An incredible collection and atmosphere!
I’m so excited watching this 😊 Great work, Mac! Thank you for doing this 🫡👍
My pleasure! Thank YOU for watching and commenting!
Great piece of history! I really appreciate the story of Nikka & Suntory. I remember all these old superb bottles at Miyagikyo & Yoichi distillery. I have some few vintage Single Cask Nikka bottles I don’t want to open because of the history 😅
Glad you enjoyed it! Please consider supporting Kanpai Planet at buymeacoff.ee/kanpaiplanet.
Kanpai!
So much i have traveled in Oita-Ken without having a clue there was a whisky museum there😮. I can't believe he had the original Nikka still there. Great video Mac!
I still (!) can't believe it either!
@@KanpaiPlanet Still! 😄
Exactly! 🥃🥃🥃
Incredible video! Incredible museum so much history if I ever and I hope I will visit Japan. This is on my list. And having a bar inside with a very very rare whiskey is just a bonus because most people are never going to afford to buy a bottle but they can't at least try it. Just incredible. Thank you! Kanpai!
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Glad it is on your list when you next visit Japan!
@@KanpaiPlanet history is a probably most important part of whiskey and not only whiskey any thing, seeing so many historical artifacts mind-blowing and have an opportunity to try it's incredible, and like you said sometimes you have to pay for journey.
The combination of the museum and the bar is a winner! 🥃🥃🥃
Mac’s back!
... and this time, it's personal!
Ok I gotta go there
It's a pilgrimage for sure!
Extremely interesting my friend.
Thank you for watching! 🥃🥃🥃
Ahh how did i not know about this place!? And I just spent a week in kyushu a month ago 😂😭 Ah well got to be happy i made it to Kanosuke ☺️
This place is now on my bucket list! Thanks for the video!
Next time!

Enjoy, and Kanpai!
Wow what a collection. I was speechless when he mentioned the still.
I still (!) can't believe it either!
@@KanpaiPlanet good pun 👏
I'll be here all night... 🥃🥃🥃
Wow amazing history 1937 Suntory!!!! 🥃
Pot still 😮
Love that whiskey FAMILY!!!! 👍🏻
3 weeks in around japan now back to Australia!!!
Hope you enjoyed your trip!
And there is even a bar !!! wow, so many historical bottles there (I'm a bit afraid of OBE & worst, though, considering the low level of some, does he gas them or sample them in smaller bottles, another question). No doubt this is a place to visit...
The bottle collection is insane and well worth checking out!
What an incredible place! How does this guy afford it all 😂
The dedication to build a collection like this is off the charts!
Interesting Mac.
Thanks for sharing.
Slàinte mhath / Kanpai
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you found it interesting!
Hey I was there May 2023 Great place Hi Takashima san !
It is a legendary spot indeed! 🥃🥃🥃
Museum was cool from a place of appreciating whisky history. I went to the bar and was charged 20,000¥ for one 30ml pour of springbank 17… premium, sure, but ungodly expensive
Glad you enjoyed the museum, and hope you still enjoyed the dram! 🥃
Amazing! Is it worth visiting as a non-Japanese speaker, or would I need to take a guide / translator?
I think you'd have no trouble visiting as a non-Japanese speaker. Some background knowledge of what you're looking at is probably more helpful, but not essential. Kanpai!
What do you recommend as a begginer sake?
That all depends on many factors. Give me some more info and I will throw some suggestions your way.
@@KanpaiPlanet Something fairly sweet or palitable
