Toki Time at Pop City

The best way to enjoy your Japanese whiskey? With a little bit of Japanese tunes, obviously. Pop City has teamed up with The House of Suntory for Toki Time, a brand-new series that celebrates contemporary Japanese culture, music and mixology.

Happening every Saturday until 1 August, a DJ will take over the decks to soundtrack your drinking sesh as you enjoy a specially curated menu of inventive highballs and cocktails, all built around the smooth character of Toki Suntory Whisky. Expand your music taste and be taken on a journey through Japan’s ever-evolving music scene throughout the four-part programme.

It kicks off on July 11 with the silky grooves of city pop and nostalgic kayōkyoku, before introducing the laid-back sounds of Shibuya nu-jazz on July 18. Then on July 25, tune in to feel-good Japanese R&B and pop crossovers, before the series concludes on August 1 with an evening of nu disco, future city and soft electronic vibes.
