Celebrate 110 Years of Tokyo Station Hotel

This year marks the 110th anniversary of the iconic Tokyo Station Hotel, located inside the historic Marunouchi building of Tokyo Station (Address: Marunouchi 1-9-1, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo). To commemorate this milestone, the hotel’s Bar & Café Camellia is offering two exclusive summer cocktails that elevate the essence of seasonal fruits elegantly paired with Japanese gin crafted from sake lees that would have otherwise gone to waste.

Summer Fruit Cocktails

From July 1 to August 17, 2025, guests can indulge in two special cocktails: Elegant Peach and Silent Grape. These cocktails artfully blend premium local gin with the freshest summer fruits, delivering a refreshing and elegant drinking experience perfect for the summer. Both cocktails could also be enjoyed as non-alcoholic mocktails.

Elegant Peach

The Elegant Peach features a frozen cocktail made with fresh white peaches, creating a texture reminiscent of a rich peach sorbet. The addition of dried ginger as a garnish enhances the botanical notes of the gin, perfectly blending the sweetness of the peach with a refreshing zing. Served in an elegant glass and topped with raspberry powder, this cocktail ensures a beautifully sophisticated presentation. Ideal for those who enjoy sweet drinks, it serves as an exquisite dessert cocktail as well.

In contrast, the Silent Grape highlights the rich flavor of whole crushed Kyoho grapes, expertly extracting their essence and blending it with gin. This simple yet luxurious cocktail delivers a refreshing finish, while the invigorating touch of cardamom adds an exciting twist, embodying the essence of summer. The experience of tasting fresh Kyoho grapes provides a seasonal richness, as the sweet fruit and spice linger, creating a silent moment of contentment during a summer evening. Light and refreshing, this cocktail is perfectly suited as a pre-dinner aperitif.

The Craft Gin

Last Elegant gin, a product from the Tokyo Riverside Distillery, was established in 2021 as an urban distillery. This craft gin is infused with the sweet and floral aromas derived from botanicals like lavender and hibiscus tea, created from sake lees supplied by Chiyo Musubi Sake Brewery in Tottori Prefecture, which would have otherwise been discarded. This process highlights the commitment to sustainability and the exquisite flavor profile of the spirits.
