Discover the Essence of Whiskey at the Tokyo Station Hotel
The Tokyo Station Hotel, a historical treasure located in the Marunouchi area of Tokyo, is set to host a captivating series of whiskey-themed events throughout the year at its famous Bar Oak. Starting in April 2026, this four-part event titled "Gathering Oak: The Appreciation of Whiskey" will immerse attendees in the rich world of whiskey, revealing its many fascinating themes.
Nestled within the grandeur of the hotel, which shares its history with the iconic Tokyo Station, participants will savor the amber liquid that tells stories of its origin. Each sip captures the essence of the land, the narratives of long-aging barrels, and the craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. It's an experience that transcends mere taste, resonating deeply in one's memory.
The events kick off with an exclusive guided tour led by the hotel staff. This immersive experience will provide insights into the hotel’s storied past, showcasing the venue's remarkable architecture and the history intertwined with Tokyo Station.
Adding depth to this experience will be the insightful narration from our esteemed speaker, Arisa Makoshi, a renowned writer and whiskey expert. Her engaging storytelling will weave the rich historical and cultural contexts surrounding the whiskey selection, enhancing the tasting experience as she guides the participants through the intricacies of whiskey and food pairings.
The setting of Bar Oak, characterized by soft lighting and original brick walls from the hotel's inception, promises a unique opportunity to relax and unwind in an atmosphere tailored for adults.
