WINTER COCKTAIL FAIR
Shimonoyo (Frosty Night)

An adult drink where the aroma and aftertaste rising with the steam are pleasant.
Kansetsu (Citrus Snow)
A frozen cocktail based on "The KI NO SEI Kyoto Dry Gin," layering the fragrance of Japanese citrus woven by hassaku and yuzu puree with the bitter-sweet acidity of grapefruit. Enjoy the gorgeous aftertaste.
Baika (Plum Blossom)
The gentle sweetness of house-made plum wine using "The KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin" and "The KI NO UME Kyoto Plum and Berry Liqueur," the gorgeous acidity of cranberry, and the refreshing fragrance of yuzu juice harmonize to create an easy-to-drink taste. The snow style decorating the rim of the glass creates a winter atmosphere.
Bar "Orient Express" (2F)
A space full of dignity and charm, modeled after the luxurious train "Orient Express" that crosses the European continent. You can spend a blissful time slowly, feeling as if you're traveling on the Orient Express. Enjoy the adult time that flows leisurely.
