HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO's THE GARDEN BAR to Offer Two Original Cocktails Featuring TOMIKI

ADIATE Co., Ltd. (Minato City, Tokyo), the company behind TOMIKI (Tomiki), Japan's premium domestic vodka, has announced a collaboration with THE GARDEN BAR at HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture). Starting Wednesday, July 15, 2026, two original cocktails crafted by THE GARDEN BAR's Beverage Manager, Tadasuke Aomatsu, will be available for a limited period.

TOMIKI elevates traditional sake-brewing techniques through cutting-edge distillation technology, resulting in a vodka with unparalleled roundness and rich aroma. Beverage Manager Tadasuke Aomatsu has deeply interpreted TOMIKI’s unique character, transforming its essence into two exceptional cocktails that fully express its distinctive appeal.

Kanari-ao (Canary Blue)

The traditional Japanese color 'Kanari-ao' represents a bright, vivid yellow reminiscent of a canary’s feather. This cocktail harmoniously blends the refreshing essence of sake with the elegant aromas of hinoki (Japanese cypress), yuzu, and passion fruit.

Gep-paku (Moon White)

The traditional Japanese color 'Gep-paku' evokes the tranquil glow of moonlight, a pale bluish-white hue. Featuring the rich depth derived from daiginjo sake, this cocktail is a top-tier Japanese sour, highlighted by the floral fragrance of violet.
