1. A Message to Peat Lovers Worldwide
If you are a fan of Laphroaig’s intense medicinal peat and oceanic character, your journey is just beginning. At Bar Little Happiness in Hiroshima,
we house over 1,000 bottles, specializing in the rarest heavily peated expressions from Japan’s most innovative distilleries. Discover the evolution of “Smoky Japan” through our curated collection.
2. From Legends to Rising Stars: Our Smoky Lineup
We offer an unparalleled selection of peated Japanese whiskies that honor tradition while pushing boundaries:
- Yoichi (Nikka Whisky): Founded by Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky, who created the country’s first authentic smoky spirit. Distilled with direct coal fire, it offers a beautifully fruity yet peaty finish.
- Saburomaru (Wakatsuru Shuzo): I am an enthusiastic collector and a massive fan of Saburomaru. They are masters of peat, and we stock an extensive range of their limited-edition “heavily peated” bottles that will stun even the most seasoned Islay fans.
- Sakurao & Kameda: We feature numerous heavily peated limited editions from Hiroshima’s own Sakurao and the rising star Kameda Distillery. These are rare gems you won’t easily find elsewhere.
- Deep Exploration: Compare rare peated releases from Akkeshi, Ichiro’s Malt, Mars (Tsunuki & Komagatake), and Asaka. With 1,000 bottles on our shelves, your “destined smoky glass” is waiting.
3. The Art of the Pairing: 16 Exclusive “Bar-Only” Chocolates
We don’t just serve whisky; we provide a professional tasting tool.
We carry 16 varieties of “Bar-Only” chocolates that are not available in any retail store. I will personally select the perfect chocolate to match the specific profile of your whisky.
- “Smoky” Chocolate: Crafted to synchronize with and dramatically amplify the peat and smoke.
- “Strawberry Herb” Chocolate: An unexpected and exquisite marriage where herbal freshness and strawberry acidity collide with the smoke to reveal hidden flavors in your glass.
4. Digital Peace of Mind for Global Travelers
Navigating 1,000+ bottles is effortless with our 8-language iPad menu.
- Multilingual Support: View photos, detailed tasting notes, and transparent pricing in your own language (English, French, Italian, Korean, and more).
