KIKAI RUM to Participate in 'Kichijoji Cocktail Market 2026,' a Gathering of Bartenders in Kichijoji!

Japan Import System Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo / President: Katsuhiko Tanaka) will exhibit a booth for Kikai Distillery's 'KIKAI RUM' at the 'Kichijoji Cocktail Market 2026,' to be held in Kichijoji, Tokyo on Sunday, May 24, 2026.

This event is organized by the Kichijoji Cocktail Laboratory, which operates under the theme 'Let's sprout BAR culture in Kichijoji.' It is held as an event where bartenders from the Kichijoji area gather, allowing attendees to casually enjoy the charm of cocktails and spirits.

At the venue, in addition to offering a variety of cocktails made by shaking, stirring, and building, there will also be spirits tasting booths, non-alcoholic cocktail experiences, and cocktails using agricultural products from Musashino City for local consumption.

At the KIKAI RUM booth, we will sell original cocktails using 'KIKAI RUM -Awahi-,' a rum produced on Kikai Island.

**Planned Cocktails**

**KIKAI RUM -Awahi- Ti' Punch Soda**
'Ti' Punch' is a style popular in the Caribbean, where rum is mixed with lime and sweetness. You can simply enjoy the citrus and fermentation-derived aromas of 'Awahi.' Adding soda is also recommended.

**KIKAI RUM -Awahi- Japanese Fizz**
An event-exclusive original cocktail that layers the rich sweet and sour taste of boiled-down black vinegar and mango with the refreshingness of KIMINO UME sparkling juice. The aroma of shiso leaves serves as an accent, creating a flavor that harmonizes with the green and spicy notes of 'Awahi.'

On the day of the event, we will propose the unique charm of Kikai Island rum through cocktail styles that allow for a more casual enjoyment of KIKAI RUM.

**KIKAI RUM Bottle Sales**

On the day of the event, in addition to 'KIKAI RUM -Awahi-' used in the offered cocktails, we will also have a venue-exclusive sale of 'KIKAI RUM -Hitotose-' bottles. You can enjoy it at home right after tasting it. Both will be available in limited quantities, so please be sure to stop by our booth at the venue.
