Main Malt is a renowned shop among malt enthusiasts, and I had long wished to visit but never found the opportunity until recently. The conversation with the master, Kogo-san, was enjoyable, and his passion for malt was evident. The atmosphere of the shop felt like a clubroom for malt lovers, reminiscent of my favorite bar, Campbelltown Loch in Yurakucho. I stayed there for almost the entire operating hours due to the pleasant atmosphere, and it was a memorable night. Thank you very much. #Deanston (DEANSTON)
