Whisky Bar Leichhardt — Restaurant in Fukuoka

One of the best whisky bar experiences I’ve had. Located on the 5th floor of an otherwise nondescript building, you slide open the door and find yourself in front of a dimly-lit, atmospheric counter with bottles lining the walls — puts you right in the mood for a dram. Owner Yu was happy to put together a flight of Japanese whisky tastings, tailored to what I was after, and was incredibly knowledgeable and happy to talk shop (his English is terrific).

The whiskey was good but since we had no idea what we were paying until we asked for the bill we were not keen on...
