Cocktail Festa 2012

Many of Japan's top bartenders will be vying for supremacy at Tokyo International Forum this Friday, as part of Suntory's annual Cocktail Festa. The winner of this year's Cocktail Award – the finals for which take place on Friday afternoon – will go on to give cocktail demonstrations from 6pm on both days of the event, with further entertainment including flair demonstrations and, more randomly, a performance by 'Pizza Acrobat Champion Team' Red-Japan. But we're presuming that most people will just be there for the drinks – and there are 50 different cocktails on offer, made with some top-brand liquors.
