Bar Little Happiness
A bar like no other—for whisky and rum lovers.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Hiroshima’s nightlife district,
Bar Little Happiness offers a handpicked selection of over 1,000 bottles, curated by a woman who has dedicated 20 years to her craft.
Here, Japan’s finest whiskies and rums are served with clarity, care, and calm.
This is more than just a bar.
It’s a destination—sought out by enthusiasts from around the world.
For Rum & Whisky Lovers


A whisky warehouse door. A heart-shaped window. A thousand bottles.
Every part of this space was designed with intention.
The entrance was inspired by a traditional ageing cellar.
The small, imperfect heart was carved by hand—by the owner herself.
Inside, over 1,000 bottles of rum and whisky line the shelves.
For those who don’t just drink, but choose where and how.
The Story Behind the Bar

In 2006, fresh out of university, a young woman opened a tiny café-bar tucked into the corner of a parking lot—with no experience and barely a taste for alcohol.
That changed the moment she encountered a single glass of whisky—so balanced, so profound, that it felt like destiny.
Over the past 20 years, her passion for whisky and rum has grown into something far greater:
A curated selection of over 1,000 bottles.
A space where guests say, “I never thought I could enjoy whisky—until now.”
At Bar Little Happiness, it’s not just about drinks.
It’s about the quiet connection between people, made possible by the right glass at the right time.
We invite you to experience what we call “A Little Happiness”—
a moment of discovery, comfort, and something truly special.
Private Room & Food

Enjoy charcuterie, chocolate, and light meals alongside your drink. A cozy private room is available for special occasions.

From the sacred whisky island of Islay and the distilleries of Scotland,
to the rum-producing islands of the Caribbean and the emerging whisky scene in New Zealand—
every bottle on our shelves carries a story—and a handshake.
Beyond the Bar
Bar Little Happiness is more than a destination.
It is part of the global whisky and rum conversation—
a place that hosts, explores, and shares.
Every encounter becomes a story, returned to the glass.
A Gift of Thanks

In 2012, to mark the 7th anniversary of our founding,
we reflected on how we could express our gratitude for the trust and warmth we had received since opening.
This reflection led us to support the construction of a medical clinic in a village in Ghana, Africa.
We had no personal connection to Ghana. Yet, we were inspired to quietly give back—
as a way to honor the many moments of kindness that had shaped our journey.
Even today, this small clinic holds a quiet but profound.
Peace of Mind Guarantee
