An immersion in the heart of Japan

→ Exploration of the flagship ingredients (yuzu, matcha, sakura, etc.),

→ Presentation of the Ikigai collection (Matsui Umeshu, Kiyomi, La Tomato, one of the famous Japanese liqueurs, etc.),

→ And of course, exclusive cocktail creations, devised especially for the event.

Curiosity, technical expertise and sharing

Led by Charles, who led the session with passion and skill, the masterclass aroused genuine curiosity about distillation techniques, authentic Japanese ingredients and the creative possibilities offered by our range.

The discussions were rich and the feedback enthusiastic, proving that there is a real craze for Japanese products in the bar world.
