Sir Davis whiskey, Coffee, Aromatic smoke of cherry wood
This cocktail layers Sir Davis with coffee and the aromatic smoke of cherry wood, creating a momentarily smoked Manhattan. Served in a skull-shaped glass reminiscent of pirate legends, its rising smoke paints a scene of romance and rebellion. The lingering notes of wood and vanilla embrace the night softly.
Glenfiddich, Akadama Sweet, House-made star anise bitters
This cocktail is presented in a mist style, reimagining the fruity and spicy character of classic Scotch through a modern lens. Blending Japan’s proud fortified wine, Akadama Sweet, with house-made star anise bitters, it creates a rich, aromatic harmony — a gentle sweetness layered with timeless depth.
This cocktail is inspired by the Earth itself. The rich soil is expressed through burdock root, while passion fruit and spices evoke the vital energy of nature.

A bridge between worlds, it expresses harmony between Italy’s ritual of aperitivo and Japan’s delicate sense of balance.
