I believe Yamazaki is the only Japanese whiskey currently available in the US. It is certainly the only one I have ever seen in California.

I had a great experience there early in January for a birthday dinner. Food was all perfectly prepared, drinks were outstanding (green tea martini, soem unfiltered saki and a green tea mixer with some sort of japanese whiskey?),...
