Prepare to be enchanted by a delightful fusion of Japanese and French culinary artistry at the KINOBI POP-UP BAR in Tokyo. This exclusive event, born from a unique collaboration between Pierre Hermé Paris and KINOBI Gin, promises a sensory journey that will tantalize your taste buds and elevate your spirits.
KINOBI, a distinctive dry gin crafted in Kyoto, embodies the harmonious blend of British and Japanese traditions. Produced at the Kyoto Distillery, established in 2014, KINOBI draws upon the finest ingredients, including rice-based spirits, Fushimi’s pristine water, and a captivating blend of 11 botanicals. These botanicals include exquisite Japanese elements like Uji’s 玉露 (gyokuro) green tea, yuzu, ginger, and sansho pepper, carefully selected to express their unique character.
For this extraordinary collaboration, Pierre Hermé, renowned for his exquisite macarons, drew inspiration from the six key botanical elements that define KINOBI Gin – yuzu, sansho pepper, ginger, gyokuro green tea, and more. The result is a collection of six exquisite macarons, each a delicate masterpiece that echoes the essence of the botanicals.
The KINOBI POP-UP BAR experience is a harmonious symphony of flavors and aromas. Under the expert guidance of Masashi Sakuma, KINOBI’s brand ambassador, each handcrafted cocktail is meticulously paired with its corresponding macaron, creating a harmonious dance of taste sensations. The pop-up bar offers a unique opportunity to savor the subtle complexities of KINOBI Gin, amplified by the delicate artistry of Pierre Hermé’s macarons.
