Building a Japan Drinks YouTube Channel: 5 Years in 24 Minutes

SUPPORT Kanpai Planet at buymeacoffee.com/kanpaiplanet Five years ago, on 9 February 2021, in a small Tokyo apartment, I hit record on a smartphone with two bottles of Foo Fighters sake and no plan. This is the story of what happened next. From the first videos about analysis of whisky standards and giving advice about Japanese sake, to selecting casks at Kanosuke Distillery, breaking world exclusives with the rarest Japanese whiskies, and interviewing legends like Dave Broom - this documentary covers the journey of building Kanpai Planet into a respected Japanese drinks content platform. Japanese Whisky. Sake. Shochu. Gin. Vodka. Japan-exclusive Scotch. Japan-connected Scotch. Kit Kats. And much, much more. From Suntory and Nikka to craft Japanese Whisky distilleries like Chichibu and Kanosuke. From sake brewing on Sado Island to gin reviews at the House of KI NO BI, from Resident Evil Glenfarclas to Whisky Kit Kats and Godzilla Energy Drinks - five years of exploring Japan's drinks culture direct from the heart of Tokyo. Over 8,800 subscribers. Over 40,000 watch hours. Over 500,000 views. 81 long-form videos. 14 shorts. One community. Thanks for being part of this journey. Until next time, Kanpai!
