Tokonoma Shochu Bar & Lounge opening
A number of mesmerising gowns from Akira Isogawa's only previously viewed in Paris Collection added to one very eye-pleasing set up at the new Tokonoma Shochu Bar and Lounge launch party (just next door to Toko Restaraunt in Surry Hills).
Over some delicious Toko bite-sized canapes and chilli infused edamame we deliberated over which cuisine one would pick if you could only have one for every meal for the rest of your long years (Japanese won, with Italian coming a close second).
It wouldn't hurt to add in a beverage selected by Paul Birtwistle, Australia's very own Sake Sommelier:
Hakka Martini - Shiro shochu with Hendricks gin, cucumber and mint
Gen awa cha - Lychee bubble tea with Genmaicha infused shiro shochu, lemon and lychee jelly
Negroni swizzle - Whitley Neill, Antica Formula and Campari infused with pineapple, aged and swizzled with homemade falernum and orange wedges
