Invitation-Only | Gin Through Japan — Intimate Craft Gin Culture Experience

About This Experience
This is a small invitation-only prototype session (max 4 guests) designed for couples or close friends who appreciate quiet, culturally immersive experiences — not nightlife or loud bar events. Guided entirely in English, this evening explores Japan’s craft gin culture through botanical philosophy, regional character, and sensory storytelling, not just tasting.
You will experience 6 gins — 5 from Japan and 1 international reference — each expressing the distillery’s concept of place, people, and aroma.
In the second half, you may choose your favorite gin and enjoy a personalized cocktail crafted exclusively for you.
This first session is free, as part of our private prototype phase before launching the official paid experience.
Photo/short video documentation is required (with your permission) for Airbnb & cultural promotion use.
