Explore The World of Japan’s Drinks… TOGETHER
Five years in on Kanpai Planet, and the world of Japan’s drinks has never been more interesting. It’s time to take the Kanpai Planet community to the next level.
Kanpai Planet has always been independent, and I want to keep it that way. When you become a member, you’re not just supporting a YouTube channel. You’re backing the research, the distillery visits, the production quality and the obsessive attention to detail that makes this channel what it is. The bigger the community, the bigger the projects we can tackle together. I hope you’ll join us. Need more info? Check out the FAQ.
Sign up before 31 May 2026 at 23:59 UTC to receive a 10% lifetime discount by using Promotion Code ‘OG’ at checkout! Plus, you can help influence the final names for the tiers and indeed the name of the ‘club’ itself.
We continue… and Kanpai!
