Embrace the Spirit of Regulars at the Pop-Up Bar kiiro

The vibrant city of Tokyo will play host to a delightful experience for whiskey lovers and casual drinkers alike with the opening of the pop-up bar 'Bar kiiro.' This temporary establishment, presented by Suntory, will be available from October 8 to October 12, coinciding with the famed "Kakuhai Day". Located at the stunning Tokyo Midtown Hibiya Atrium, this unique bar offers patrons the chance to be treated like regulars, even on their first visit.

A Unique Concept in a Cozy Space

At 'Bar kiiro', guests can immerse themselves in a cozy atmosphere inspired by the popular TV commercial featuring actress Yu Aoi as the owner and actors Shota Sometani and Satomi Kobayashi as regulars. The bar presents the essence of a welcoming neighborhood tavern, where you can order a "Kakuhai" Highball with just a simple phrase - "I’ll have my usual." This sets the stage for an enjoyable experience filled with heartfelt conversations and laughter.

The Art of Enjoyment

Upon entry, visitors are greeted with their personalized name tags, offering an immediate sense of belonging and familiarity. This clever touch enhances the feeling of being a cherished regular. Not only can guests indulge in the signature Kakubin Highballs recommended by the stars of the TV commercial, but they can also converse with an array of engaging personalities, including caricature artists and photographers, adding an extra layer to the social experience.

The Signature Highballs

The menu features three exceptional variations of the Kakuhai Highball:
1. Golden Ratio Highball (500 yen): Recommended by Yu Aoi, this version is crafted for a refreshing taste with a chilled glass brimming with ice, a zesty lemon scent, and vivid soda bubbles. Shota Sometani also admits to being a fan of this classic.
2. Strong Highball (500 yen): For those who prefer a bolder flavor, Satomi Kobayashi encourages guests to try the strong variant, which deepens the drinking experience and provides the perfect unwind after a long day.
3. Revival Highball (500 yen): Fan favorite, by Yojiro Noda, this rendition allows whiskey enthusiasts to truly appreciate the deep flavors and aromas of the original Kakubin.

The Charm of Connection

Throughout the five-day event, guests can expect a delightfully interactive space where they can share stories and insights with fellow patrons, reflecting the bar's intention to cultivate a community vibe. Imagine engaging with an artist who sketches your portrait while sipping a perfectly crafted Kakuhai Highball, or simply enjoying fascinating conversations with unique regulars.

The limited-time 'Bar kiiro' is not just a place to enjoy drinks; it’s an invitation to step into the shoes of the characters from the beloved TV commercial and experience the warmth and camaraderie reminiscent of a neighborhood bar.
