Relationships, friendships, career. Most have their new goals set for 2018, and are spending some much deserved time off during the holidays, reflecting Japanese Whisky review in 2017 as it comes to a close. More importantly, many will be longingly staring at their whisky collection, wishing they’d bought more (or less) throughout the year. For […]
The year is coming to close, yet, the excitement doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. The Tokyo Whisky Festival showcased the rise of tiny, passionate whisky distillers, while over in London, the Spirit Show brought forth craft as a whole. Our team made sure to show the London crowd what Japanese gin is […]
With Christmas just two weeks away, our team is working hard to get all the orders out in time for the big day. Our holiday tasting sets, hampers, and whisky bottles are being wrapped up, in our complimentary Japanese gift-wrapping *wink*, before being shipped out to countries all over the globe. It is indeed the […]
The end of the year has been a very busy, exciting time for our team here at dekantā. Last month took us across Japan revisiting whisky distilleries, finally attending the amazing annual Tokyo Whisky Festival, before heading to Europe. Yet, one of the most exciting events of the year came last weekend, on the 1st […]

This comes as a surprise, as the major drinks companies in Japan usually keep their methods secret, due to the strong competition between the giants, Suntory, Nikka, and Kirin, […]
As if the end of 2017 hasn’t been exciting enough with the recent announcements of the Yamazaki 18 Mizunara Edition 2017 and the Yoichi and Miyagikyo Moscatel-finished single malts, the Kyoto distillery has just released a whisky cask-aged Japanese gin. The new “Ki Noh Bi” gin is exclusive to the Japanese Isetan department store chain, and […]
In recent weeks the world has been raving about the venturing into gin making, and many have made their own predictions about how successful this new movement will be. One thing is for sure, Japanese gin is turning more than a few head in the spirits world. We’ve also been keeping a close eye on […]
A few months ago, attending a large spirits and cocktail event in Tokyo, we heard word of some new, and extremely exciting Japanese gins coming to the market. Being a rather British drink, this news was very satisfying to us here at dekanta, as we truly love any beverage, liquor, or speciality Japan has to […]
