In the Cherry Blossom’s Shade, There is no Such Thing as a Stranger
Suntory Whisky brings Japanese cherry blossom tradition to London
In honour of the annual cherry blossom in Japan, between March and May, Suntory Whisky has installed an immersive experience at the Shochu Lounge at ROKA Charlotte Street. From 1st to 30th April guests are welcome to enjoy the tradition of Hanami (the enjoyment and viewing of the transient beauty of flowers) and Yozakura (Hanami at night) with the entire bar adorned with cherry blossom.
Continuing the theme to the drinks, ROKA is offering a seasonal cocktail menu created with Hibiki Japanese Harmony Whisky;
· Match a Rack – an elegant fusion of matcha-infused Arrack and Hibiki Japanese Harmony, umami spirit and mango cordial, served straight up in a nick-and-nora martini glass
· Suntory Blossom – a short concoction of Hibiki Japanese Harmony, ume sake, blood orange and Sakura tincture. Served in a rock glass with carved ice, garnished with a dry blood orange wheel and Sakura blossom
· Happo Harmony - a sweet and spicy, refreshing amalgamation of oriental flavours, combining Hibiki Japanese Harmony, rhubarb and ginger syrup, soda water and sprayed lemon flower essence. Served in a highball glass with carved ice, garnished with a rhubarb twist.
