Tokyo International Bar Show ＋ Whisky Expo Japan

Expect top-notch cocktails and some ultra-rare tipples at this two-day celebration of the art of bartending. The fifth 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, bartending performances, and loads and loads of spirits, beers and whisky. International guests include global bartending impresario Gary Regan and 'travelling mixologist' Angus Winchester, who also holds the curious title of 'Tequila Demigod', as well as Islay whisky ambassador Christine Logan. Make sure to also check out the Nadeshiko Cup, the all-female bartending contest that was a big hit last year.
