Tokyo International Bar Show ＋ Whisky Live

Expect top-notch cocktails and some ultra-rare tipples at this two-day celebration of the art of bartending. The third Tokyo International Bar Show – a descendent of the malt-centric Whisky Live fest that started back in 2000 – is taking place at Tokyo Dome City this year, and will again feature appearances by top mixologists, a sherry cocktail competition, and loads and loads of spirits, beers and whisky. International guests include cocktail connoisseurs and authors Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown, as well as German bar impresario Charles Schumann. Make sure to also check out the Nadeshiko Cup, the all-female bartending contest that was a big hit last year.
