The first concept shop for Suntory's Japanese craft gin "ROKU", "Tea Room BAR ROKKAN by ROKU GIN" (hereinafter "ROKKAN"), will open at the Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa on June 6th for approximately one year only.

The low-light space, which makes use of traditional Japanese techniques, sharpens your senses for a more enjoyable and tranquil experience; it's an adult bar that's a secret to those in the know.

Why is "ROKU" so highly regarded around the world?

Since its launch in 2017, it has been sold in about 60 countries, with overseas sales accounting for about 9% of the total, and it is a highly regarded global brand that ranks second in the world's premium gin rankings. Japanese whiskey has long been highly regarded overseas, but Japanese craft gin, made with Japanese botanical ingredients, is also attracting overseas enthusiasts.

The "ROKU" brand uses six botanicals (cherry blossoms, cherry leaves, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, Japanese pepper, and yuzu) from the four seasons of Japan, and pursues a perfect balance of aroma and flavor through delicate craftsmanship. With a gorgeous aroma and a gentle taste like no other, it can be called a genuine Japanese craft gin. The "ROKU" brand, born from Suntory's strong commitment, has been increasing in sales year after year, which shows how highly it is regarded.

"ROKKAN" is a space where you can learn more about the "ROKU" brand and enjoy it even more.

"ROKKAN" is a tea room bar that can be used for different purposes, offering the "Japanese Craft Gin ROKU Experience Course" which requires an advance reservation, and the bar which can be used without a reservation.

The experience course, which requires a reservation, allows you to explore three different Japanese spaces, experience the botanical ingredients used, learn about gin, and enjoy food pairings of seasonal cocktails using "ROKU" with Japanese sweets. The course is designed to give you a better understanding of gin and "ROKU".

The bar, which can be visited without a reservation, offers original cocktails made with "ROKU" as well as a tasting of different "ROKU" brands.

If you make a reservation, you can also experience a cocktail and Japanese sweets pairing course (advance reservation required/1 yen per person).
