Discover the Art of Crafting Your Own Whiskey

The Roppongi Whiskey Salon in Tokyo invites you to an exclusive whiskey blending event on March 1, 2026. This unique opportunity features Hiroyuki Doda, the representative of Niigata's renowned Kameda Distillery, who will share his expertise in whiskey production. Patrick, our passionate bartender, aims to create a rich and close-knit whiskey community through this workshop.

Event Overview

The event, titled "Kameda Distillery Blending Experience," offers participants a chance to dive deep into whiskey blending under the guidance of an industry expert.

1. Direct Insights from Kameda Distillery's Expert

Learn about the intricacies of blending from Hiroyuki Doda himself. He will present five distinct types of whiskey, each showcasing the elements that make up their unique flavors. With a rich climate and high humidity in Niigata, these characteristics make their whiskey truly exceptional.

2. A Unique Advantage: Bottle Keeping

Unlike typical workshops where participants take their creations home, this event introduces an innovative approach called “My Bottle Keep.” For a small fee, participants can reserve their blended whiskey at the salon and revisit it in the future. Priced at 3,500 yen for a 200ml bottle, this experience allows enthusiasts to witness their creations evolve over time, adding a delightful twist to the whiskey journey.

3. Intimate Community Settings

This workshop will be limited to just 10 participants per session, promoting engaging conversations and networking among whiskey lovers. The salon’s philosophy, “Get Closer to Whiskey,” ensures a memorable experience for both beginners and connoisseurs alike. Expect to share meaningful exchanges and unforgettable moments.
