Cocktail Connections: Online Happy Hour in Japan

Book Now for our Cocktail Connections experience

We have launched our first virtual experiences here in Japan! This first one is making inspired DIY cocktails while learning about Japanese ingredients and influence in the craft cocktail world!

Join our local expert Lauren. She has 20 years of experience in the food and beverage and tourism industries. She will share some fun DIY cocktails and help answer questions you may have about life in Tokyo as well as some of our Arigato Japan hidden gems, tips, and tricks in the city, and in making your own delicious cocktails and mocktails at home.

We aim to :

– Enjoy a fun and positive experience
– Share and demonstrate cocktail recipes that are easy to learn and recreate.

We are experts in culinary tourism! These days, of course, we cannot have guests on our walking food tours but we are excited to connect and share our stories and knowledge with you right in your own homes. This experience is great for locals living in Japan as well as Japan and Bar fans around the world.

On our 1-hour “Cocktail Connections” we will virtually meet, talk, taste. and learn together! Everyone who attends the session will also get special info, recipes, and resources after the experience.

For a more customized experience, make your tour private for an additional ¥5,000 + TAX. (min. 2 people)
