Kuala Lumpur, 7 June 2024 – An exquisite dinner evening featuring fine Japanese whisky and Kampachi’s exceptional cuisine was held on Friday. The evening began with a first course of golden eye snapper, yellowtail, scallops, and spotted prawn sashimi, beautifully paired with Taketsuru pure malt whisky. This was followed by a second course of simmered duck with asparagus, with the main course being the highly anticipated Miyazaki wagyu.

It was a memorable dining experience and a unique opportunity to purchase some of the last remaining bottles of the much-acclaimed Taketsuru 17- and 21-year whiskies in Malaysia. These whiskies, known for their exceptional quality, have been discontinued due to depleted stock driven by unprecedented demand. Both expressions have received prestigious accolades, including awards from the World Whisky Awards and the International Spirits Challenge.
