Early Summer Creations Cocktail Promotion Launched

Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora (Location: 924-1 Kiga, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture) will offer a limited-time promotion 'Early Summer Creations' at its bar 'Riverside Kitchen & Bar' from June 1, 2026, to beat the summer heat.

Unique and spicy summer cocktails are here!

This promotion features a total of 11 original cocktails themed around stimulating spiciness and refreshing sensation, using 'ABSOLUT® TABASCO™ Vodka' with aged red chili pepper essence derived from TABASCO®, Japanese craft liqueur 'Kanade〈Matcha〉' that brings out the charm of traditional Japanese matcha, and premium tequila 'CODIGO Blanco'.

In addition to the kick of shichimi chili pepper and TABASCO® vodka, unique cocktails using pickles as accents will also appear. This cocktail collection is full of surprises and discoveries that color the nights of Hakone.

Furthermore, the matcha cocktails use Japanese craft liqueur 'Kanade〈Matcha〉' that expresses the rich aroma and deep umami of domestic matcha. While making the most of the delicate flavor of Japanese ingredients, we combine gin, rum, grapefruit, etc., to offer refreshing and vibrant green cocktails perfect for summer.

From the unique perspective of Hotel Indigo Hakone Gora, which welcomes many overseas guests, we blend Japanese ingredients such as shichimi chili pepper, pickles, and matcha—symbols of Japanese food culture—with Western spirits like vodka, tequila, and gin. We deliver a cocktail experience that can only be enjoyed here, combining Japanese uniqueness and novelty.

Cocktails can be enjoyed while conversing with bartenders at the lively bar counter, or while soaking in a footbath, feeling the night breeze of Hakone. Please spend an open and relaxing moment from the summer evening to night when the daytime heat subsides, in harmony with nature.
