[Held on November 7th] Cocktail Event "Autumn Cocktail Night feat. Pernod Ricard Japan"

As autumn deepens in November, bar and lounge Magdalena will host "Autumn Cocktail Night feat. Pernod Richard Japan," a cocktail event where guests can experience the wide-ranging lineup of Pernod Ricard Japan, a global premium spirits company.

Two guest bartenders from the company, one a whiskey ambassador and the other a champagne ambassador, will be presenting ambitious creative cocktails that blend Japanese and Western influences.

Also on the day, Hotel GrandBach head bartender Tsukasa Takahashi will unveil "THE CONNECTION," a two-layered cocktail evocative of the encounter between Japanese and Western cultures, made with the Kyoto Distillery's prestigious Japanese gin "Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin," plum liqueur "Ki No Ume," and fragrant, freshly ground organic tea leaves "CUZEN MATCHA."
This cocktail was inspired by a chance encounter (connection) between two geniuses associated with the hotel, J.S. Bach and Tsutaya Juzaburo, and is a unique original cocktail that combines the beauty of Japanese and Western cultures.
