The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon, will launch its new signature cocktail menu "WHAT IF?" at Gold Bar at EDITION, an intimate and captivating cocktail bar inspired by the golden age of classic American cocktails before Prohibition, starting Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
This menu, crafted by Bar Manager Andrey Marc, who took office last year, is a cocktail collection that begins not with spirits or flavors, but with "questions." Starting with hypothetical thinking, "What if?", it presents cocktails that challenge conventional wisdom. It invites guests to a mysterious experience where familiar things are reconstructed from an entirely different perspective. Each cocktail is a response to a specific "what if?", composed of surprising combinations of ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship, sharing the concept of "transforming the known into the unknown."
"Through this menu, I wanted to express that cocktails are not just drinks, but experiences, stories,
and even 'questions.'
Gold Bar at EDITION is a place where guests can escape from the everyday, explore, and be surprised.
The concept of 'WHAT IF?' embodies precisely that.
While valuing elegance and balance, it stimulates curiosity and overturns preconceptions.
Please enjoy an unprecedented experience."
Andrey Marc, Bar Manager, Gold Bar at EDITION
The signature blacklight gimmick of Gold Bar at EDITION is also present in the new menu. The menu, featuring illustrations by Argentine artist Mariano Peccinetti and graphic design by Berlin-based Takayuki Isomi, reveals cocktail names and art when illuminated by light.
