Tokyo Confidential announces the inaugural “Christmas Confidential,” a festive celebration taking place throughout the month of December in partnership with Woodford Reserve Bourbon.
Popping up on the recently opened Azabujuban bar’s 10th floor roof, Christmas Confidential will run from now and finish on December 30, Wednesdays through Sundays from 6 – 12am. Adding to the bar’s already stunning views of Tokyo Tower, Christmas Confidential brings the cozy holiday vibes with mini fireplaces, heated blankets and Christmas décor.
Founder Holly Graham and Head Bartender Wakana Murata have created four cocktails for the occasion, putting a Tokyo Confidential spin on nostalgic Christmas flavors (¥2000 each). Available hot or cold, the Pandan Nog adds an Asian twist to the indulgent classic with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Diplomatico Mantuano, pandan, amazake, egg and Christmas spices, while the Gingerbread Old Fashioned infuses a hint of seasonal spices with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, gingerbread syrup and bitters. Warm up with the Kentucky Coffee with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, Okinawa brown sugar, coffee and chilled cream, or the hot Vino Navidad with red wine, Brandy and mulling spices.
In addition to the drinks, Christmas Confidential nods to Japan’s festive tradition of fried chicken for Christmas by serving up comfort dish TCFC (¥2000), fried chicken with ranch dip and house pickles created by two Michelin-starred Chef Daniel Calvert, who has curated the food menu for Tokyo Confidential. For the ultimate high-brow, low-brow pairing, opt to add a bottle of Champagne and caviar bump (¥15,000).
As usual, Christmas Confidential is no reservations, so PULL UP FESTIVE UP and ring in the season TC style. Minimum spend of ¥6,000 per person.
